A girl to drive a car to love
The music rocks me down the motorway
My whore’s got wings we’re taking off
And I can’t stop this flight of speed today

It’s a lovedrive on wheels of fire
A lovedrive just one desire love
You drive me crazy babe

It’s a lovedrive on wheels of fire
A lovedrive just one desire love
You drive me crazy babe

The city lights of London town
Are far away my hand is on her wing (on her wing)
I stop the car and she gets down
I’d like to show why Scorpions got a sting

It’s a lovedrive on wheels of fire
A lovedrive just one desire love
Sweet love, you drive me crazy babe

It’s a lovedrive on wheels of fire
A lovedrive just one desire love
Sweet love, you drive me crazy babe

It’s a lovedrive on wheels of fire
A lovedrive just one desire love
You drive me crazy babe

It’s a lovedrive on wheels of fire
A lovedrive just one desire love
Sweet love, you drive me crazy babe

You drive me crazy babe
You drive me crazy babe
You drive me crazy babe
You drive me crazy baby

It’s a lovedrive
