Try to hang on!


Sleeping in my car - I will undress you
Sleeping in my car - I will caress you
Staying in the back seat of my car making love, oh yea!

Sleeping in my car - I will posess you
Sleeping in my car - certainly bless you
Laying in the back seat of my car making up

    No guitar over this bit:

The night is so pretty and so young
The night is so pretty and so young
So very young...

    The rest is just choruses:

Sleeping in my car - I will undress you
Sleeping in my car - I will caress you
Staying in the back seat of my car making love to you

Sleeping in my car - I will posess you
Sleeping in my car - certainly bless you
Laying in the back seat of my car making up

I will undress you
I will undress you

The night is so pretty and so young
