lyrics
Verse 1
(Man) All the bags are packed and loaded, where do you want to go
(Woman) A place where we can breathe and walk and maybe see some snow
(Man) The traffic’s heavy, we can get ahead, let’s not be late
(Woman) You have to gas the car, I need some chocolate, you’ll have to wait
Chorus Lyric (Man and Woman in Unison)
And now I’m taking a drive with you
Enjoying all of the wonderful views
Just taking a ride with you
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Verse 2
(Man) Turn on the radio, I hate this song, it’s making me ill
(Woman) It’s not so bad, I kind of like it, why don’t you take a pill
(Woman) Why do you always criticize me and my point of view
(Man) I don’t mean to criticize, it’s just I disagree with you
Chorus (Man and Woman in Unison)
And now I’m taking a drive with you
We can’t agree on our different views
Just taking a ride with you
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
(Man and Woman)
What a beautiful place
We’ll stop and take a break
I’ll take your picture
beside the sea
The way you look at me
Your eyes are shimmering
Glimpses of
how it used to be
(Man) And now I’m taking a drive
(Woman) Taking a drive
(Together) Taking a drive with you
(Man) We’re just taking our time,
(Woman) Taking our time
(Together) Taking our time we two
(Man) Taking a drive
(Woman) Taking a drive
(Man) Taking a drive
(Woman) Taking a Drive with you
(Repeated to end)
