Little Red Piece A' Shit


Music (Prince) Words (6/5/99)

I guess I shoulda known
By the way the engine light came on
That it wouldn't last

See she's the kinda car
That believes in stallin' out once
Then never starting again

I guess I must be dumb
'Cuz she had an engine full of problems
Some old and some of them new

But it's American Made
I guess that makes it OK
And I said what have I got to lose?
And the mechanic said

Little red piece a' shit
Fannie, she breaks down fast
Little red piece a' shit
You need a car that's gonna last

I guess I shoulda closed my eyes
When I drove her to the place
Where mechanics roam free

'Cuz I felt a little ill
When I saw all the pictures
Of Fieros that were there before me

Believe it or not
I started to worry
I wondered if I drove her too much

But it's American Made
I guess that makes it OK
And she said, "OB, have I got a bad clutch?"
Oh yeah!

Little red piece a' shit
Fannie you ain't no fun (no you're not)
Little red piece a' shit
You need to find a car that's gonna run

A car like mine... oughta be in a shop...
And it's not on the verge of bein' too clean

So come on Fannie... I got the keys...
I'm gonna try to start my little red hate machine

Little red piece a' shit
Fannie, you ain't no fun
Little red piece a' shit
I need to find a car that's gonna run

Little red piece a' shit
Fannie, you got to speed up (got to speed up)
Little red piece a' shit
'Cuz if you don't you gonna run your
Little red piece a' shit right to the dump

Little red piece a' shit
