i got a car, i got some gas
Oh let's get out of here
Get out of here fast
Ooh everyone's confused
So i stay in my room
If i go, i don't want
To go alone

I hope you get this message
Oh you're not home
I could be there in
Ten minutes or so
Ooh i got my things
We'll make it up as we go along
Oh with you i could
Never be alone
Never be alone
