Well my first love was a little Corvette   All done up in lipstick red   I thought it'd last forever 'til the motor blew   Well I guess I didn't look close enough   It's a little bit just like falling in love   Looks don't mean a thing, if the heart ain't true      It might be a cool ride, smooth lines,   Something custom made out in Hollywood   But when you get done gazing at he outside   You better start checking out the inside   If you want a love built to last, you better look real good   And see what's under the hood      Sporty little model standing by the door   So I took her for a spin on the old dance floor   Headlights shining bright but nobody home   Now I need something that's more my speed   Got a whole lotta time to find what I need   So I put her in park and headed on off for home      It might be a cool ride, smooth lines,   Something custom made out in Hollywood   But when you get done gazing at he outside   You better start checking out the inside   If you want a love built to last, you better look real good   And see what's under the hood      --- Instrumental ---      Well, It might be a cool ride, smooth lines,   Something custom made out in Hollywood   But when you get done gazing at he outside   You better start checking out the inside   If you want a love built to last, you better look real good   And see what's under the hood      You better look real good,    And see what's under the hood...
