about

Much more upbeat and pop-driven than the first release, New Car sees GROOVE's style shift into a funkier realm with more broad appeal and danceability.

lyrics

[Verse 1]
She was pulling up quick with the aim of a snapshot
Starlight rooftop
Everybody falling in line at the sign of a pin drop
That's one sharp sidewalk
I can make your night rock

[Pre-Chorus]
Baby girl why you have to cross the line?
Looking at me like the money doesn't cross your mind
(Aw, yeah)

[Chorus]
Well I got a new car you can ride it, too
I got a new sound you can take with you
I got an old soul but it feels brand new
(Ha)
And we can break it down
We can take a few

[Verse 2]
Let me get this straight
Real talk, reflect
Do you really want to spend time with the man or the pay check?
You say "rain check"
All you ever do is run by, well I'm running out of patience
You're running out of explanations
I'm saying "If you want it, I got it, but
Why you always have to go reaching for my wallet now?"
(yeah, yeah, yeah)

[Pre-Chorus]
It's like baby girl why you have to cross the line?
Looking at me like the money doesn't cross your mind
Acting funny like the world is what you have to buy
All up on me when your motive is the dollar sign

[Chorus]
Well I got a new car you can ride it, too
I got a new sound you can take with you
I got an old soul but it feels brand new
(Ha)
And we can break it down
We can take a few

[Breakdown]
(Baby girl why you have to cross the line)
We can break it down
We can, we can break it down
We can take a few, few
(Looking at me like the money doesn't cross your mind)
Well I, well I got a new soul, no-no soul, soul (No)
(Acting funny like the world is what you have to buy)
I got a new sound
(All up on me when your motive is the dollar sign)
Dollar, dollar sign

[Bridge]
Keep on running, walking, crawling, try to keep myself from falling down
Keep on going strong and breathing long enough for you to stick around
Keep on running, walking, crawling, try to keep myself from falling down
Keep on going strong and breathing long enough for you to stick around

[Chorus]
Well I got a new car you can ride it, too
I got a new sound you can take with you
I got an old soul but it feels brand new
(Ha)
And we can break it down
We can take a few

(We can break it down, we can break it down)
(Yeah!)
