Shut Up And Drive
Rihanna · Good Girl Gone Bad [2007]
So if you think that you're the one, step into my ride
I'm a finetuned supersonic speed machine
With a sunroof top and a gangster lean
So if you feel me let me know, know, know
Come on now what you're waiting for, for, for
My engine's ready to explode, explode, explode
So start me up and watch me go, go, go, go
[chorus:]
Getcha where you wanna go, if you know what I mean
Got a ride that's smoother than a limousine
Can you handle the curves, can you run all the lights
If you can baby boy, then we can go all night
'Cause I'm zero to sixty in three point five
Baby you got the keys
Shut up and drive, drive, drive, drive
Shut up and drive, drive, drive, drive
I got class like a fiftyseven cadillac
Got all the drive and a whole lotta boom in the back
You look like you can handle what's under my hood
You keep saying that you will, boy I wish you would
So if you feel me let me know, know, know
Come on and what you're waiting for, for, for
My engine is ready to explode, explode, explode
So start me up and watch me go, go, go, go
[chorus:]
Getcha where you wanna go, if you know what I mean
Got a ride that's smoother than a limousine
Can you handle the curves, can you run all the lights
If you can baby boy, then we can go all night
'Cause I'm zero to sixty in three point five
Baby you got the keys
Shut up and drive, drive, drive, drive
Shut up and drive, drive, drive, drive
Cause your maybach ain't got what I've got
Get it get it, don't stop, it's a sure shot
Ain't a ferrari, uh-oh boy, I'm sorry
Ain't no need to worry, so step inside
And ride, ride, ride, ride, ride, ride, ride, ride...
So if you feel me let me know, know, know
Come on now and what you're waiting for, for, for
My engine is ready to explode, explode, explode
So start me up and watch me go, go, go, go
[chorus:]
Getcha where you wanna go, if you know what I mean
Got a ride that's smoother than a limousine
Can you handle the curves, can you run all the lights
If you can baby boy, then we can go all night
'Cause I'm zero to sixty in three point five
Baby you got the keys
Shut up and drive, drive, drive, drive
Shut up and drive, drive, drive, drive
Shut up and drive, drive, drive
Shut up and drive, drive, drive
Drive, drive, drive, drive, drive....
