If My Car Could Only Talk

Lou Christie


She met me at the station 'cause I'm comin' home on my leave 
I'll let her use my XKE 'cause she could drive around & think of me hee hee 
Baby, I'm home, you meet surprise, it's on your face 
Where's the old crowd? Do they still hang out at the pizza place? 
A flash of suspicion, to mind & no way of kissin' 

CHORUS: 
(Watch your step, Sarah Jane, I'll get you yet) Sarah Jane 
(Watch your step, Sarah Jane, I'll get you yet) 
Sarah Jane, if my car could only talk to me 
If my car could only talk to me 
It would tell me 'bout you, baby 
We walked, baby 

When I cleaned my car I found pictures from the penny arcade 
& my eyes dried 
Underneath the seat I found a cigarette lighter 
Engraved "Love you, baby--Sarah Jane" 
Since I've been home, I found evidence of a love affair 
Tickets to the drive-in show, I'll prove at once; this I swear 
Don't make excuses & cry; I can't stand girls that lie 

(chorus) 

(These eyes, these eyes, these eyes these eyes) 

(chorus) 

We walked some streets to red, white & blue 
I swear my memory tellin' me that we were through 
Breakin' up is so hard to do; walk away before I start crying too
