[Verse 1]
Ooh, look at me, I'm a cadillac
I'm a brand new convertible child
I've never been driven baby your the first
Come on baby drive me wild

[Verse 2]
Ooh, look at me, I’m a telephone
Whatever you want, just dial
Come on honey, please, it’s so easy
Do it baby, drive me wild

[Chorus]
Come on baby do it, drive me wild
Do it baby, drive me wild
Come on baby do it, drive me wild
Do it baby, drive me wild

[Verse 3]
Ooh look at me I'm a radio
Call me up make a request
I'll do anything just name it
When I'm bad baby, I'm the best

[Chorus]
Come on baby do it, drive me wild
Do it baby, drive me wild
Come on baby do it, drive me wild
Do it baby, drive me wild

[Chorus]
Come on baby do it, drive me wild
Do it baby, drive me wild
Come on baby do it, drive me wild
Do it baby, drive me wild

Vanity 6 were a short-lived female vocal trio that came out of Prince’s funk-rock empire and assembled in 1981. Vanity 6 were formed in Prince’s hometown of Minneapolis, where singer/actress Vanity (whose real name was Denise Matthews) got together with fellow singers Brenda Bennett and Susan Moonsie. Backed by The Time, Vanity 6 recorded their self-titled debut album, released in 1982 by Warner Bros. The single “Nasty Girl” became a major hit, and like Prince’s albums, Vanity 6 successfully bridged the gap between R&B/funk and rock/pop/new wave. Vanity 6’s first album was also their last; in late 1983, Vanity left the group and signed with Motown as a solo artist. Moonsie and Bennett, meanwhile, hooked up with singer Apollonia (another Prince disciple) and formed a new group called Apollonia 6.
