Lyrics
With all these corks we might need to have the base looked at
Expressing concern about the condition of a car, suggesting the need for inspection.
So pop the hood and see what's good I need to a toolin' man
Asking someone to check the car and fix it, referring to them as a "toolin' man" or a skilled mechanic.
My precious love I'm on a roll but my transmission's blown
Despite personal success, facing issues in the romantic relationship ("transmission's blown").
I heard a thump and then a knock
Describing a mysterious noise in the car, possibly mirroring emotional uncertainty.
I hear you work at a body shop
Awareness that the person works at a body shop, repeated for emphasis.
I hear you work at a body shop
-You can keep it overnight
Granting permission and freedom in the relationship.
You can do whatever you like
-Working overtime
Referencing extra effort and time spent, possibly symbolizing commitment to the relationship.
Working on the line
-You can polish the headlights
Suggesting intimacy and excitement, using car-related imagery.
You can smooth out the fender
-You can start the ignition
-We can go on a bender
-Stuck to the seat, our body heat, what will you do with all this ass
Describing a close and passionate connection, playfully asking about the partner's intentions.
Let's shift the gears, get outta here, we're steppin' on the gas
Expressing a desire to leave, inviting the partner to take control while being intimate.
We gotta bounce, we're gone past, let's let the seat go back
-You take the wheel, I'll sit on top
-I hear you work at a body shop
Reiteration of the partner's occupation for emphasis.
I hear you work at a body shop
-You can keep it overnight
Repeating the idea of granting freedom and flexibility in the relationship.
You can do whatever you like
-Working overtime
-Working on the line
-You can keep it overnight
Continuing the theme of flexibility and dedication to the relationship.
You can do whatever you like
-Working overtime
-Working on the line
-I'll work on the engine
Using car metaphors to describe efforts in maintaining and improving the relationship.
Like we blew a gasket
-Tighten up the suspension
-And you don't have to ask it
-I, I, I, I hear you work at a body shop
Repeating awareness of the partner's occupation, possibly emphasizing attraction.
I, I, I, I hear you work at a body shop
-I would drive to the ends of the Earth for you
Expressing deep commitment and willingness to go to great lengths for the partner.
Jump start my heart, you know what you gotta do
-I would ride through the dark of the night with you
-Cross my heart and hope to die, it's true
-You can keep it overnight
Repeating the theme of granting freedom and working hard for the relationship.
You can do whatever you like
-Working overtime
-Working on the line
-You can keep it overnight
Continuing the repetition of relationship dynamics and dedication.
You can do whatever you like
-Working overtime
-Get to the line
-You work at a body shop
Final repetition of the partner's occupation, possibly as a refrain for emphasis.
You work at a body shop
-You work at a body shop
-I, I, I, I, you work at a body shop
-You work at a body shop
Concluding the song by affirming the partner's work at a body shop.
