If My Car Could Only Talk   
                                      " Lou Christie"
                               Year Song Released 1963

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 and think of me-ee-ee
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 and 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, ifa my car could only talk to me
Ifa 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
and 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 and cry-y; I can't stand girls that lie-ie

(chorus)

     ---(Music Interlude)---
(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...
(scatt fading out)...
