Little Red Corvette Lyrics
By the way you parked your car sideways
That it wouldn't last
See you're the kinda person
That believes in makin' out once
Love 'em and leave 'em fast
'Cause you had a pocket full of horses
Trojan and some of them used
But it was Saturday night
I guess that makes it all right
And you say what have I got to lose?
And honey I say
Baby you're much too fast
Little red Corvette
You need a love that's gonna last
When you drove me to the place
Where your horses run free
'Cause I felt a little ill
When I saw all the pictures
Of the jockeys that were there before me
I started to worry
I wondered if I had enough class
But it was Saturday night
I guess that makes it all right
And you say, Baby, have you got enough gas?
Oh yeah
Baby you're much to fast, yes you are
Little red Corvette
You need to find a love that's gonna last, ah huh
Oughta be in jail (Oughta be in jail)
'Cause it's on the verge of bein' obscene
('Cause it's on the verge of bein' obscene)
Move over baby (Move over baby)
Gimme the keys (Gimme the keys)
I'm gonna try to tame your little red love machine
(I'm gonna try to tame your little red love machine)
Baby you're much to fast
Little red Corvette
You need to find a love that's gonna last
Honey you got to slow down (Got to slow down)
Little red Corvette
'Cause if you don't you gonna run your
Little red Corvette right in the ground
Right down to the ground (Honey you got to slow down) you, you, you got to
Slow down (Little red Corvette) you're movin' much too fast
(Too fast) you need to find a love that's gonna last
And the ride,
I say the ride is so smooth
You must be a limousine
Little red Corvette
You need a love, you need a love that's
That's gonna last
(Little red Corvette)
Babe you got to slow down (you got to slow down)
Little red Corvette
'Cause if you don't, 'cause if you don't,
You gonna run your body right into the ground (Right into the ground)
Right into the ground (Right into the ground)
Right into the ground (Right into the ground)
I think it's safe to assume ANY Prince song is pretty much about sex.
This has got to be the best male ballad ever made. I believe it to be about being in a relationship with a woman who has plenty of "experience" and a guy who is having trouble coming to grips with this fact. He is infatuated with her but is afraid her ability to love him is destroyed by her desire for personal pleasure from every guy she gets close with. The song is basically a statement to the woman that she needs to slow down and take it steady with someone before she loses her mind and "run her body right into the ground".
He sums up in the 1st line.... "guess i should have known by the way u parked your car sideways that it wouldn't last" She parks her car sideways. She dosen't give a ****. He knows their relationship was doomed from the start. He feels sick at the thought of her promiscuity. But she's a good lay. A ride like a limousine. He's going for it but he knows she's going to crash & burn.
Awesome song.
You mean ya need to ask him to produce blood test results before going to bed with him because he's just an unpaid whore who's memorized the positions in bed ;)

Ok.. Its' about sex. but the line about parking. "I "guess I shoulda known by the way you parked your car sideways" is about the woman's attitude. Ever see the owner of a hot sports car, park accross two or three parking spaces, sideways. They way they feel they deserve more!. That's the kind of woman she was.
God damn, but this is one of my favorite songs of all time. Dirty and groovy. I think this could be one of the greatest songs of the 80's.
As far as the meaning of this song, I think if I have to explain it to you, you're probably too young to be listening to it.
Calling a girl's bedroom "the place where your horses run free" is a great line.
The best line is "You must be a limousine!" The song seems pretty straight forward- he's with a girl who has been around a bit, they're probably up at some makeout point on the edge of town where she takes all her men in her car. He feels uneasy about having sex with her, but what heck, its saturday night, so why not? Great song.
Funkteer The line "you need a love thats gonna last" is about actual love. He is repremanding her about having loveless sex all the time. Even the he knows he will succumb, because, hey its saturday!
I love this song!! it's awesome. I've loved it ever since I was young. Now that i'm older, I understand the true meaning behind the words!! haha. yeah, basically about a woman who sleeps around. And yeah he's telling her to slow down, "you need a love that's gonna last" But yeah he's like hey, what the hell! it's a saturday night so that makes it alright, so why not?!! hehe. It's a very sexy song! it's great. "Girl, you got an ass like I never seen And the ride... I say the ride is so smooth you must be a limousine" "Move over baby, gimme the keys I'm gonna try to tame your little red love machine" We all know what her "little red love machine" is, lol. Kind of a naughty song! only prince can get away with it!!! "A body like yours Oughta be in jail 'Cuz it's on the verge of bein' obscene" Love it!!! its an awesome song!!
yes i agree. he is a genious. he makes such amazing songs. lol and he is very dirty. haha. i wish my boyfriend had a mind like his. man wud that make for some great sex or what?
va jay jay or not this is a great song
