Skidmarks On My Heart Lyrics
You sure know how to hurt a girl
Fewer hugs and no more kisses
Just water for your carburetor
And bearings for your pistons
Rev her engine for your pleasure
Caress and fondle her steering wheel
When you moan and hug her gear shift
Stop! Think how it makes me feel
CHORUS
Skidmarks on my heart
You've got me in fifth
You're burning rubber like my love
I'm driving in risk
Spend all your time and money
On that Pontiac GTO pile
Getting tired of your greasy antics
My pride's getting hurt by the mile
Blow her engine blow my mind
Keep her shocks and brakes aligned
I see that you're all jacked up
Leaving me and your exhaust behind
CHORUS
I buy you cologne
You want axle grease
You say get a mechanic
I say get a shrink
I need promises
You want Motor Trend
Our love needs an overhaul
This may be the end
CHORUS
Fewer hugs and no more kisses
Just water for your carburetor
And bearings for your pistons
Rev her engine for your pleasure
Caress and fondle her steering wheel
When you moan and hug her gear shift
Stop! Think how it makes me feel
Skidmarks on my heart
You've got me in fifth
You're burning rubber like my love
I'm driving in risk
On that Pontiac GTO pile
Getting tired of your greasy antics
My pride's getting hurt by the mile
Blow her engine blow my mind
Keep her shocks and brakes aligned
I see that you're all jacked up
Leaving me and your exhaust behind
You want axle grease
You say get a mechanic
I say get a shrink
I need promises
You want Motor Trend
Our love needs an overhaul
This may be the end

It's a song about a relationship where the guy loves the car more than his girlfriend,and after trying so much she thinks that the end of the relation is near.

I love The Go Go's. I think that this song is about a girl that has a boyfriend who needs to spend more time with her.
Not just that - he's totally neglecting her...for his car! He obviously loves his car more than her, hence all of the words in the semantic field of err, cars!
