Genya Ravan Pedal To The Metal
Mama sure was workin' for me and that's for certain
Plannin' of a college, the pushin' of some carriage
Boy, I think I let her down when I said I was splittin' this town
And I'd see her around, I meant I'd see her around
Quit when I was sixteen, thinkin' I was real mean
Plannin' on my breakout, gettin' calls of stakeouts
Oh, it's so hard to tell when you're livin' in a slum and you're growin' in hell
And your TV's showin' bells
Here's what you do, baby
You put the pedal to the metal and you know it's called the breaks
You put the pedal to the metal and you know it's called the breaks
You put the pedal to the metal and you know it's called the breaks
Candy stores to hang in, higher stoops to hang on
Radios were blastin', the older guys were castin'
Yeah, I was leavin' my trails, they coulda put me away, I almost got nailed
I woulda wound up in jaul, oh no
Ann Marie was teasin', they boys were up for pleasin'
Man it showed on her face, I heard it was a bad chase
Yeah, if a girl wasn't cool her reputation would stick
Ya had to learn it quick, learn your lesson quick, girl
Here's what you do
You put the pedal to the metal and you know it's called the breaks
You put the pedal to the metal and you know it's called the breaks
You put the pedal to the metal and you know it's called the breaks
Oh girls, it was spray net city then, and we were wearin' it high
I mean high, oh my, really high
And ooh yeah, you shoulda seen what they boys looked like then
A hot stance, real romance, they could dance, really dance
You put the pedal to the metal and you know it's called
You put the pedal to the metal and you know it's called
You put the pedal to the metal and you know it's called the breaks
You put the pedal to the metal and you know it's called the breaks
You put the pedal to the metal and you know it's called the breaks
You put the pedal to the metal and you know it's called the breaks
You put the pedal to the metal and you know it's called the breaks
You put the pedal to the metal and you know it's called the breaks
You put the pedal to the metal and you know it's called the breaks
