lyrics

Yes, no, maybe

Oh, Greta
You know I love ya
But can't you see
You don't belong to me
Oh, Greta
You know I want ya
But couldn't it be
You weren't maintained properly

When I saw your ad
Your eyes, they glittered like jewelry
I paid too much
Then I took you home
And I fell asleep on your bench seat

Oh, Greta
You know I want ya
But couldn't it be
You weren't maintained properly
Oh, Greta
You know I love ya
But can't you see
You don't belong to me

You're falling apart at every turn
Maybe this time I'll finally learn
I step on the gas, my lonely heart brakes
Do you smell something burning?
La, la, la, la … I'm on fire

[Advertisement] Come on down to Dale's Auto Parts!
We'll sell you anything, as long as you're willing to buy.
We got brake pads, rotors, axles, carburetors --
Anything you need, here at Dale's.

(simultaneously) Greta you know what you did to me baby?
You know what you did? You hurt me so bad, baby.
Deep down inside, I'm not the same anymore.

You're rusty on the side
Can't give me peace of mind
You're driving me insane
Stay in your lane, stay in your lane

Oh, Greta
You know I love ya
But then again, who could foresee
Your master cylinder broke within a year and a half
And you know that she taint free
