歌词背景
这首歌的歌词十分有趣。歌词的灵感来自于一个想要成为著名电影明星的女人身上。
有个女人告诉这首歌的男主角她将要成为一个著名电影演员,并且提供给他一次当她司机的机会,并且还说:“也许我会爱上你。”(and maybe I'll love you)当他反对他的“前景是好的”)
根据
麦卡特尼解释:“'Drive my car'是对性的old blues式委婉说法。”
这种说法在汽车前自动换挡时代比较常用。
作曲
当McCartney为一个创作会议到达Lennon的 Weybridge的家时,他脑海里有了一个音调,但是”我很清楚当时的歌词是灾难性的“( 当合唱开始时,大家
Can't Buy Me LoveI Feel FineIf You've Got Trouble 他们当下就决定重新作词。在一些困难之后——McCartney形容当时的那些创作会议简直超级难对付
这首歌同样被认为是指
Cilla Black和她当时的男朋友
Bobby Willis (之后她嫁给他了). Cilla既是Beatles的朋友也是
Brian Epstein发行
遗憾的是如此优秀的一首歌没有发行为商业单曲,但是这并不影响披头士乐迷及披头士成员对它的喜爱,
麦卡特尼在自己的大部分演唱会上都演唱过这首歌,一直唱到了新世纪。

歌词
Asked a girl what she wanted to be,
she said baby, can't you see.
I wanna be famous, a star on the screen,
but you can do something in between.
Baby you can drive my car.
Yes I'm gonna be a star.
Baby you can drive my car,
and baby I love you.
I told a girl that my prospects were good,
and she said baby, it's understood.
Working for peanuts is all very fine,
but I can show you a better time.
Baby you can drive my car.
Yes I'm gonna be a star.
Baby you can drive my car,
and baby I love you.

I told a girl I can start right away,
and she said listen babe I got something to say.
I got no car and it's breaking my heart,
but I've found a driver and that's a start.
Baby you can drive my car.
Yes I'm gonna be a star.
Baby you can drive my car,
and baby I love you.
