Story Behind The Song
I was living in Brooklyn, NY and had a little crush on a drummer/friend. There was a definite attraction, but the friendship thing got in the way. This song came tome one night on the way home after riding the subway with the crush in question. I stood under a streetlamp at 3am until I finished writing it all down before heading home and working it out on the guitar.

Lyrics
Boy, what are you so afraid of?
Dontcha know that I'm not gonna bite you?
Dontcha know that I just wanna know you?
But I'm not talkin' about your mind.
I been watchin you for a long, long time now.
And I know you been watchin me.
Every single time we see each other baby,
There is undeniable chemistry.
And you know I,
I just wanna ride.
Yeah, baby come on and give me a ride.
I can feel your dark brown eyes upon me.
And I can feel the heat comin' from your stare.
I can feel your hips movin' slow with mine now.
Can't you feel it? We are almost there.
And you know I,
I just wanna ride
Yeah baby come on give me a ride.
Cause you know I don't wanna hassle you baby,
And I wouldn't wanna cause you distress.
Oh baby I just need one little thing, Why dontcha come on and give me a kiss?
Cause you know I don't wanna be your girlfriend, and I'm not lookin' to change your life.
I don't wanna be your ever after, I just need a ride tonight.
So come on baby and give me just a little taste now.
Cause if you kiss me once you'll wanna kiss me twice.
There are only two more things I still need form you baby.
And that's your hands and your body all over mine.
Oh, cause you know I,
Ooh baby I,
Oh baby I just wanna ride.
Yeah baby come on give a ride
Oh baby come on give me a ride
Oh yeah come on give me a ride
Oh baby, I promise not to take you too far outta your way.
I'm even gonna chip in some money for gas.
Just five minutes over the Brooklyn Bridge come on give a ride,
Ooh baby give me a ride,
Ooh baby give me a ride,
Please?
