  			Verse 1: 
E5 
Well I'm parked outside of your daddy's house 
         A7 
And I'll be right here 'till you come out 
      E5 
Don't make me wait until the moon turns blue 
           E5 
So you can tell your mama and your daddy too 
    A7 
You got to go when supper's through 
        E5 
'Cause I got my motor runnin' baby just for you  
 
 
E5                     B5                  E5 
I kept my motor runnin' baby just for you 
A7              
I've been savin' up my lovin' 
                    E5 
And I'll tell you true 
G                   A 
I've been down some lonely highways 
(No Chords) 
But I knew one day you'd come my way 
E5                     B5        A5    E5 
I kept my motor runnin' baby just for you  
 
 
Verse 2: 
We can take a ride for heaven's sake 
When the moon and the stars are congregate 
But first I want to tell you what I want to do 
When the other cars have all give out 
And there engines cool and the fuel runs out 
I'll keep my motor runnin' baby just for you  
 
Chorus repeats twice  
 
I kept my motor runnin' baby just for you 
I kept my motor runnin' baby just for you
