The Back Seat of My Car Lyrics by Paul McCartney, Linda McCartney

The 7" Singles Box

1971

[Verse 1]
Speed along the highway
Honey, I want it my way
But listen to her daddy's song:
"Don't stay out too long"
Ooh, we're just busy hidin'
Sittin' in the back seat of my car
[Bridge]
(Looking for a ride in the haul-about) Ooh
(Looking for a ride in and out of town) Ooh
(Stalling around in a haul-about?) Ooh
Looking for a ride in and out of—oh
[Verse 2]
The maze of lights are pretty
We may end up in Mexico City
But listen to her daddy's song:
"Making love is wrong"
Ooh, we're just busy ridin'
Sittin' in the back seat of my car
[Bridge]
Ooh-oh-oh, ooh, oh-oh-oh-ooh
Ooh-oh-oh-ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
[Refrain]
For we was only hidin'
Sittin' in the back seat of my car, yeah
(On my lap, hey, hold on, babe)
(On my lap, baby...[Gibberish])
(Hold me close and open up the...[Gibberish])
(Don't leave me without you)
[Verse 3]
And when we finish drivin'
We can say we were late in arrivin'
And listen to her daddy's song
We believe that we can't be wrong (Yeah)
Oh, we believe that we can't be wrong
Oh, we believe that we can't be wrong
We can make it to Mexico City
Sittin' in the back seat of my car
[Bridge]
[Gibberish]
Hey!
(Hip bones ridin' up an' up) Ooh-oh-oh, ooh, oh-oh-oh-ooh
(Hip bone, hip bone, hip bone, hip bone)
(Get some)
(Hip bones ridin' up an' up) Ooh-oh-oh-ooh
(Hip bones ridin' up an' up)
(Hip bones ridin' up an' up)
(Hip bones ridin' up an' up) Ooh-oh-oh-ooh
(Hip bones ridin' up an' up)
(Hip bones ridin' up an' up) Ooh-oh-oh-ooh
(Hip bones ridin' up an' up)
(Hip!) Ooh-oh-oh-ooh
Ooh, ooh
[Outro]
Oh, we believe that we can't be wrong
Oh, we believe that we can't be wrong
Oh, we believe that we can't be wrong
Oh, we believe that we can't be wrong
Oh, we believe that we can't be wrong
Oh, we believe that we can't be wrong
No, no, no (Dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum)
Woah, we believe that we can't be wrong
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh-oh, oh-oh, yeah, yeah, yeah
Ooh!
Woah, ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma, woo-hoo
