"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him.
There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.
Close your eyes, make a wish
And blow out the candlelight
For tonight is just your night
We're gonna celebrate
All through the night
Pour the wine, light the fire
Girl your wish is my command
I submit to your demands
I will do anything
Girl you need only ask
I'll make love to you
Like you want me to
And I'll hold you tight
Baby all through the night
I'll make love to you
When you want me to
And I will not let go
'Til you tell me to
Girl relax, let's go slow
I ain't got nowhere to go
I'm just gonna concentrate on you
Girl are you ready?
It's gonna be a long night
Throw your clothes on the floor
I'm gonna take my clothes off too
I made plans to be with you
Girl whatever you ask me you know I can do
I'll make love to you
Like you want me to
And I'll hold you tight
Baby all through the night
I'll make love to you
When you want me to
And I will not let go
'Til you tell me to
Baby tonight is your night
And I will do you right
Just make a wish on your night
Anything that you ask
I will give you the love of your life
I'll make love to you
Like you want me to
And I'll hold you tight
Baby all through the night
I'll make love to you
When you want me to
And I will not let go
'Til you tell me to
I'll make love to you
Like you want me to
And I'll hold you tight
Baby all through the night
I'll make love to you
When you want me to
And I will not let go
'Til you tell me to
And blow out the candlelight
For tonight is just your night
We're gonna celebrate
All through the night
Pour the wine, light the fire
Girl your wish is my command
I submit to your demands
I will do anything
Girl you need only ask
I'll make love to you
Like you want me to
And I'll hold you tight
Baby all through the night
I'll make love to you
When you want me to
And I will not let go
'Til you tell me to
Girl relax, let's go slow
I ain't got nowhere to go
I'm just gonna concentrate on you
Girl are you ready?
It's gonna be a long night
Throw your clothes on the floor
I'm gonna take my clothes off too
I made plans to be with you
Girl whatever you ask me you know I can do
I'll make love to you
Like you want me to
And I'll hold you tight
Baby all through the night
I'll make love to you
When you want me to
And I will not let go
'Til you tell me to
Baby tonight is your night
And I will do you right
Just make a wish on your night
Anything that you ask
I will give you the love of your life
I'll make love to you
Like you want me to
And I'll hold you tight
Baby all through the night
I'll make love to you
When you want me to
And I will not let go
'Til you tell me to
I'll make love to you
Like you want me to
And I'll hold you tight
Baby all through the night
I'll make love to you
When you want me to
And I will not let go
'Til you tell me to

awesome song... perfect way to tell your girl you love her
Cor! This is song is so hot. Boyz II Men are the best soul group around. They always know what to sing and how to sing it. Yum!

wow like no one made any coments? This is the best song! I love Boys II Men. They sing together so nicely and this song is great. Its one of my favorites by them!!!! It makes me think of someone special :-)
awesome song... perfect way to tell your girl you love her
boys 2 mean have some smoooth voices. this song is the ultimate song to make love to!
i'm not sure what this song is about
this song is about a man promising his girl he'll pleas her when they make love
this is awesome.
This song is about four men who are preparing their special birthday girl for a long night of four-on-one love making. They say they will do anything she asks, but they end up just giving her lots of orders in the song. There are four of them and only one of her. You'd think one of them could start the fire while another pours five glasses of wine. That would still leave two to chat her up until the festivities begin. I'm not a woman, but if I were, I'd probably be a little scared if four men started demanding that I take my clothes off as the Boyz do.
Eh a bit too cheesy for myself but hey I'm a different kind of girl all together.
