Fast Car Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Baby, you're just a little too sweet for me
Oh baby, I don't know if you got what I need
And I wanna love you, baby
I wanna show you there's nobody like me
And I trust ya (trust ya), baby
I need a bad girl, you're just too good for me

[Hook]
I need a fast car, candy coated red
Drive me all night, and park it in my bed
I need a fast car, (fast car) I wanna see ya zoom
Racetrack waiting in my bedroom
Show me the green light (oo-ooo-ooo)
Show me the green light (oo-ooo-ooo)
Show me the green light (oo-ooo-ooo)
Show me the green light (oo-ooo-ooo)

[Verse 2]
Baby, I hope you save a little piece for me
Girl I wanna get to know ya, I got so much I could show ya
And girl call me, when you want me to pull you up to speed
And girl I really wanna be ya baby
And I wanna love ya, sweet thing
I wanna show you there's nobody like me
And I trust ya, lady
I need a bad girl and you're just too good for me, baby
[Hook]
I need a fast car, candy coated red
Drive me all night, and park it in my bed
I need a fast car, (fast car) I wanna see ya zoom
Racetrack waiting in my bedroom
Show me the green light (oo-ooo-ooo)
Show me the green light (oo-ooo-ooo)
Show me the green light (oo-ooo-ooo)
Show me the green light (oo-ooo-ooo)

[Verse 3]
She's a pretty car, nice seats
Cooler than my A/C
Chrome wheels, perfect dash
Racing brakes, good on gas
She looks good when she's out on the road
But I'm living fast and I'm tryna lose control

[Refrain]
Is it with you? Is it with you? Is it with you? Or someone else?
Is it with you? Is it with you? Is it with you? Or someone else?
Is it with you? Is it with you? Is it with you? Or someone else?
Is it with you? Is it with you? Is it with you? Or someone else?

[Hook]
I need a fast car, candy coated red
Drive me all night, and park it in my bed
I need a fast car, (fast car) I wanna see ya zoom
Racetrack waiting in my bedroom
Show me the green light (oo-ooo-ooo)
Show me the green light (oo-ooo-ooo)
Show me the green light (oo-ooo-ooo)
Show me the green light (oo-ooo-ooo)
[Bridge]
If you're sittin' on them 24's
I wanna see you make it go
Round and round and up and down
I said If you're sittin' on them 24's
I wanna see you drop it low
Round and round and up and down
Fast car, yes sir, I need a fast car, yes sir
I need a fast car, oh yes sir, Radiokilla
I need a fast car, oh yes sir

[Hook]
I need a fast car, candy coated red
Drive me all night, and park it in my bed
I need a fast car, (fast car) I wanna see ya zoom
Racetrack waiting in my bedroom
Show me the green light (oo-ooo-ooo)
Show me the green light (oo-ooo-ooo)
Show me the green light
Show me the green light

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

Track 3 on Love Hate. L.O.S creates a track with homage to Prince, more specifically his “Little Red Corvette” track. L.O.S makes use of his stabbing synths, signature percussion (which is most likely a Prince influence) to create an atmosphere that has a very Prince-ish sound

Lyrically, Dream is using a woman/car metaphor similar to the one Prince uses in “Little Red Corvette” – although with a different perspective. Dream is the one who lives fast, and while this girl speaks to him emotionally – what he really wants her to do, is connect with him physically.
