Mint Car Lyrics

[Intro]
Oooww!

[Verse 1]
The sun is up, I'm so happy I could scream!
And there's nowhere else in the world I'd rather be
Than here with you, it's perfect, it's all I ever wanted
Oh, I almost can't believe that it's for real
So pinch me quick

[Verse 2]
I really don't think it gets any better than this
Vanilla smile and a gorgeous strawberry kiss
Birds sing, we swing, clouds drift by and everything
Is like a dream, it's everything I wished

[Chorus 1]
Never guessed it got this good
Wondered if it ever would
Really didn't think it could
Do it again? I know we should!

[Interlude]
Slinky as raccoons in the roof!

[Verse 3]
The sun is up, I'm so fizzy I could burst
Yeah, you wet through and me headfirst

Into this is perfect, it's all I ever wanted
Ow, it feels so big it almost hurts
[Chorus 2]
Never guessed it got this good
Wondered if it ever would
Really didn't think it could
Do it some more? I know we should!

[Bridge]
Say it will always be like this
The two of us together
It will always be like this
Forever and ever and ever
And ever and ever
And ever and ever and ever ever
And ever and ever

[Chorus 3]
Never guessed it got this good
Wondered if it ever would
Really didn't think it could
Do it all the time? I know that we should!

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

What did The Cure say about "Mint Car"?
Genius Answer

Robert Smith told EW in 2006:

We did an album in ‘96 and we had a song on there called ’‘Mint Car’‘ — it was the single, and I thought it was a better song than “Friday (I’m In Love)”. But it did absolutely nothing because we weren’t the band at that time. The zeitgeist wasn’t right.
