Cars, The - Let's Go Lyrics






She's driving away
With the dim lights on
And she's making a play
She can't go wrong

She never waits too long

She's winding them down
On her clock machine
And she won't give up
'Cause she's seventeen

She's a frozen fire
She's my one desire
And I don't want to hold her down
Don't want to break her crown
When she says

"Let's go"
I like the nightlife baby
She says
I like the nightlife baby
She says
"Let's go"

She's laughing inside
'Cause they can't refuse
She's so beautiful now
She doesn't wear her shoes

She never likes to choose

She's got wonderful eyes
And a risque mouth
And when I ask her before
She said she's holding out

She's a frozen fire
She's my one desire
And I don't want to hold her down
Don't want to break her crown
When she says

"Let's go"
I like the nightlife baby
She says
I like the nightlife baby
She says
"Let's go"

Ooh
I like the nightlife baby
She says
I like the nightlife baby
She says
"Let's go"

  29. X.... X....

    "Let's Go" by the Cars (1979) peaked at #14 on the Hot 100.

  30. S.... ....

    In 1998 I turned 13. For my birthday I asked for one gift and it was The Cars Greatest Hits CD. My parents came through.

  31. J.... R....

    R.I.P. to Ric Ocasek. Although it's worth noting that it's Benjamin Orr singing lead on this track. R.I.P. to him too.

  32. T.... C....

    Let's go I work the night shift baby 😁😁😃😃

  33. K.... ....

    awesome keyboards.

    K.... ....

    Awesome everything.

  34. A.... D....

    it’s hard to describe why the passing of eddie and ric hurts so much . it’s just not the great music they gave us but the era in which they gave us their music. it was a time when it was ok to leave the front window open on a hot summer night, a time when it just took one salary to make ends meet. dad would go to work and mom wound tend to the family . a time when you can make an innocent first move on a girl without feeling threaten of harm.

    A.... D....

    those times are gone for ever and so are they two great musicians. thank you both for the great music and memories . may you both rear in in peace . prayers for comfort for your families .

    A.... D....

    I hear ya. Those days ain't coming back. Middle America in late 70's and 80's...a shame the younger generation will never know a world like it was back then. Then when we are in our retirement senior living homes nearing being sent out to pasture our children and grand children will have to figure out eroding coast lines, radical climate changes, hyper inflation, world socialism and the threat of a terrorist anthrax chem warfare attack at any given moment. I feel for them.

  35. B.... L....

    late summer of 1979... oh the memories!

  36. A.... M....

    We lose Eddie Money on 9/13/2019 and then Ric Ocasek on 9/15/2019 The 🎸 industry is losing its rock gods damn it sucks

    A.... M....

    Get used to it. In the next 10 years or so we'll probably lose most of the people we hold in this regard. Nobody gets out alive.

    A.... M....

    @M1Anut True dat and then we have the guys from the 90s Grunge Rock who have died young. Kurt, Scott, Layne and Chris...Over the years so many, Prince, MJ, Michael Hutchence, etc. etc. And no there is no one really to replace them. Not from the two youngest generations coming up....Sad...The gene pool for good rock music dried up.

  37. B.... ....

    She's laughing inside 'cause they can't refuse
    She's so beautiful now, she doesn't wear her shoes
    She doesn't like to choose

  38. I.... r....

    They had to go some-time, I'm just grateful for the time and Recordings they shared.

  39. A.... J....

    Thank you Rick Ocasek , for your music you made , Rest in Peace

  40. S.... A....

    Rest high on that mountain Ric Ocasek. 😢🤘😢

  41. t.... ....

    RIC Ric. Thank you.

  42. W.... I....

    The Cars have a whole bunch of great songs, but this one is their best imho. R.I.P. Ric

  43. K.... G....

    The most insane thing ever. I was in the Dallas airport watching live shows of Eddie Money. Then on the right side where you can watch other related videos, there was a live The Cars concert. I watched it, and thought I would research Ric to see what he is doing now, because you never really see him in the media. The very next day, he is dead! Crazy....

  44. J.... L....

    Met him in the 90s in NYC...in a Duane Reade drug store..near 14 st. I thought he was Dracula... Like the songs.....some of them.....too pop for me. RIP

  45. j.... l....

    It's Tues. and the losses already seriously hurt. Ric, Eddie and I list a family member of mine. Shit!!!!! RIP, Ric!

  46. F.... G....

    RILOVE Ric 💙

  47. M.... G....

    RIP Ric

  48. Z.... D....

    Benjamin Orr first and now Ric Ocasek. Both are gone but never forgotten! Hope you guys are jamming out

  49. N.... P....

    R.I.P. MR. OCASEK GREAT MUSIC,SIR,YOU LEFT BEHIND A LEGACY!

  50. G.... B....

    I came of age to this music. Thank You, Ric. Thank You, Cars.

  51. J.... I....

    My high school jams!!! RIP Ric O! U were the totally the best!!!

  52. S.... F....

    R.I.P. Ric Ocasek!

  53. b.... ....

    Chipmunks covered this, so my first exposure to the cars was when I was actually 3, and even back then I knew this stuff was special. Thanks ric; we'll miss u

  54. K.... M....

    Listened to The Cars album.
    What a 🎖 mine . RIP Legend
    9/16/2019

  55. R.... ....

    Nothing like this on the radio when it hit. Absolute monster of a song.

    R.... ....

    Still is!

    R.... ....

    I'd say that about the first album. I ran to the record store to buy it. Candy-o hit the people that needed yo be reassured. Then it took off

  56. M.... P....

    I was this year's old when I found out this song was NOT titled, "I Like the Nightlife, Baby."

  57. R.... ....

    From Rick to Ric...I listened to a lot of this music when I was a kid...the soundtrack of my youth really. My musical tastes are quite diverse, from R&B to this genre. "Let's Go" was one of my all-time favorite songs from The Cars, still listen to it often in this 21st century. Anyway, RIP Ric Ocasek.

  58. T.... S....

    .......R....i......P..........

  59. m.... ....

    Requiescat In Pace Rick Ocasek donec obviam iterum

  60. a.... ....

    RIP ric ocasek...😞

  61. N.... ....

    Rip Rip Ocasek ❤

  62. N.... S....

    I am so happy that I was 13 years old when this single was released 😎

    N.... S....

    I was 14!

  63. N.... N....

    #hewenttoheaven

  64. S.... O....

    Money ,Ric....whatta miserable week of heroes dropping out.

  65. R.... P....

    R I P Ric Ocasek.

  66. S.... B....

    May the Lord Jesus Christ take Rick Ocasek to Heaven. Rick is now with our Lord and Savior. Please Pray for his wife and family. Let's all remember his talents as a singer. The Cars, in my opinion was just Rock-'n'-Roll, but Disco was big at the time and you could dance to their music. Peace and Love to the band, "The Cars"!

  67. 1.... ....

    RIP Ric...this song i played over and over when i got the album

  68. G.... M....

    So sad to hear about Ric Ocasek passing away. Now he and Benjamin Orr can finally jam again. God bless both of them and THANK YOU for the GREAT music.
    R.I.P Ric Ocasek

  69. D.... G....

    to the 255 who thump's down this song go listen to some slim whitman maybe your heads will blow up

  70. D.... ....

    This is a great song but it's also a "pedo" song about a hot teenager. Not as coarse as the Stones Stray Cat Blues.

  71. M.... L....

    Coming of age in 1979–the best. Give me these guys and The Knack. RIP, Ric.

  72. T.... T....

    My favorite song by The Cars. Thank you Ric for all the amazing songs. RIP

    T.... T....

    This was sung by Benjamin Orr I believe....like most of their biggest hits! RIP Ric....

  73. A.... M....

    RIP darling

  74. M.... M....

    First time i heard them was in 79 and like wow was hooked

    M.... M....

    Me too :) brings back such good memories.

  75. I.... R....

    Rest in peace legend. From Spain to the universe. A great musician, an iconic person....you will not forget.

  76. J.... T....

    RIP Ric Ocasek. This is my fave Cars song.

    J.... T....

    Me too. 2nd is Bye Bye Love. Her was a great singer.

    J.... T....

    @Amie Lynn This is a Ben Orr song (along with Bye Bye Love), but I agree. Both were great singers/songwriters.

    J.... T....

    @Amie Lynn "Her" ??

  77. C.... ....

    RIP Ben and Ric

  78. A.... B....

    Too soon ❤️

  79. D.... B....

    What a crappy week. We lose Eddie Money and now Ric Ocasek. Rest in peace gentlemen...

    D.... B....

    Rob Ruitenberg Eddie passed a few days before Ric. He passed away last Friday

    D.... B....

    Doug Brown 🤘🏾

    D.... B....

    Meh Eddie Money's music was pretty much vapid commercial radio filler. The Cars, on the other hand, were one of the greatest Rock bands of all time.

    D.... B....

    Musicians from our generation are fading away. I grew up with both Eddie and Ric. 😢💜

    D.... B....

    Doug Brown Eddie and Ric took their 2 tickets to paradise :( this week has been sad

  80. R.... S....

    RIP Ric Ocasek and RIP Ben Orr

  81. M.... R....

    My 80's rock legends falling hard this week. Tough week for me. RIP Ric and Eddie.

    M.... R....

    Mark Randall 🤘🏾

    M.... R....

    Don't forget Ben.

  82. D.... B....

    this song went to #14 on the pop charts in 1979!!!

    D.... B....

    that would be like going to #1 today....lots of great songs in 79'

    D.... B....

    @Jom James Would have charted higher if it was not for Disco. It probably hit top 2 or 3 on the album rock charts summer'79. A rock song had to be really catch and good to crack the top 20 pop charts back in they hey day of Disco.

  83. J.... M....

    One of the greatest bands. Heard all their songs growing up. Brings back alot of memories in a great era! R.I.P. Ric 💔

  84. J.... T....

    I was gobsmacked when Ben Orr passed away and now it's another punch in the gut.
    RIP Ric Ocasek

    J.... T....

  86. J.... B....

    Growing up in Boston, these guys were legendary. I met David Robinson in Rockport 20 years ago, and he's a great guy too. RIP Ric, you and Eddie Money are headlining in the great gig in the sky tonight. All the best!

    J.... B....
