Humble Pie

Songwriter: John Lennon Paul McCartney

Asked a girl what she wanted to be
She said : Baby, can't you see ?'
'I wanna be famous, a star of the screen'
'But you can do something in between'

Baby you can drive my car, yes I'm gonna be a star
Baby you can drive my car and maybe I'll love you

I told that girl that my prospects were good
And she said : 'Baby, it's understood'
'Working for peanuts is all very fine'
'But I can show you a better time'

Baby you can drive my car, yes I'm gonna be a star
Baby you can drive my car and maybe I'll love you
Beep-beep mm beep-beep yeah

Baby you can drive my car, yes I'm gonna be a star
Baby you can drive my car and maybe I'll love you

I told that girl I could start right away
And she said : 'Listen baby, I've got something to say'
'I got no car and it's breaking my heart'
'But I've found a driver, that's a start'

Baby you can drive my car, yes I'm gonna be a star
Baby you can drive my car and maybe I'll love you
Beep-beep mm beep-beep yeah
Beep-beep mm beep-beep yeah
Beep-beep mm beep-beep yeah
Beep-beep mm beep-beep yeah
Beep-beep mm beep-beep yeah

Humble Pie was formed as a supergroup, comprised of Steve Marriott of Small Faces, Peter Frampton of The Herd, Greg Ridley of Spooky Tooth, and Jerry Shirley of The Apostolic Intervention.

In the US, Humble Pie was famous more for its live shows than its modestly successful singles, though it received moderate AOR airplay.
