Switch the ignition, there's fuel in your lines Your radio sounds sweet and your headlight will shine Your dashboard's so pretty and your seat feels so soft The engine won't turn over, your timing's off Well, since you won't start, I think you need a charge Hoping maybe the generator won't get the spark Like a car mechanic, I'll check your oil Feel the radiator, see if it'll boil I wanna start your engine and ride I wanna start your engine and ride Take me for a drive I wanna start your engine and ride I wanna pull down your top and check under the hood The latch won't undo it, ain't working so good Get down in your engine and play with all your wires Stroke your starter and make your spark plugs fire There's a short in this connection and it's way down below I'm trying to fix it, but how I don't know The battery looks new, but the amps are so slow I step on the gas, but baby you won't go I wanna start your engine and ride I wanna start your engine and ride Take me for a drive I wanna start your engine and ride
