Natalie Cole

Producer: Harold Beatty

You've been driving all over town
You put your pedal to the metal
You've been getting around
Go get your thrills
That don't bother me
Spin your wheels
That don't bother me
But when you try to park
And I'm trying to sleep

No, no, no, you can't park it here
You can't park it here
It may be your car
But this is my garage
It may be your car
But this is my garage

Your love's been traveling way too many miles
You know you're out of control
Too long to stop it now
Go race your motor, ha
'Cause that don't bother me
I've lived without you
'Til it don't bother me
So before you park
While I'm trying to sleep

(Repeat Chorus)
(Sax Solo)

Ooh-woo...

Let's get one thing clear
You can't park it here
It may be your car
But this is my garage
It may be your car
But this is my garage

Drive your love on by
You won't see me cry
It may be your car
But this is my garage
It may be your car
But this is my garage

Ooh, baby, baby, baby, baby, yeah
Ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah
It may be your car
But this is my garage
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh

And you can drive your love on by
You won't see me cry
It may be your car
But this is my garage
Yeah

Your car
It may be your car, baby
But I pay the rent
And it's my garage
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
It's my garage

Don't you forget it
All alone
I said it's my garage
It may be your car
But so what
It's my garage
Oh, oh...
Yeah, yeah, yeah

The daughter of jazz legend Nat King Cole, Natalie Marie Cole (February 6, 1950-December 31, 2015) was an R&B icon who was primarily active from 1956 until her death in 2015 due to congestive heart failure at age 65. She first rose to success in the mid-‘70s with Inseparable and Natalie and later spawning Grammy-recognized albums like Unforgettable…With Love, which took home Album of the Year.

Cole has nine Grammy Awards out of twenty-one nominations – only a small testament to her legend.
