Song Lyrics

She worked at the Fotomat
She wore a uniform with a Lavender hat
That's all there is to say about that
That's all there is to say about that

And he worked over at UPS
He knew every number and every address
He was climbing up the ladder of success
He was on the ladder of success

And every day when he drove his route
He would pass her booth and he would give her a toot
She'd look up and their eyes would meet
But they never got closer than across the street

It was a drive by love
Yeah, drive by love
Drive by love

“Well, he drives me to distraction”, she said
“I can't get that driver outta my head
He honks his horn and my face turns red”
He honks his horn and her face turns red

He said, “I wanted to meet her and just my luck
I found a used camera for only a buck
And now I'm taking pictures of my UPS truck”
(Now he's taking pictures of his UPS truck)

And every day when he drove his route
He would pass her booth and he would give her a toot
She'd look up and their eyes would meet
But they never got closer than across the street

It was a drive by love
Yeah, drive by love
Drive by love

Well, he took in his film and said, “I must confess
I'm not a photographer, they're probably a mess”
And she held up a sign that said 'UPS Yes!'
(She held up a sign that said 'UPS Yes!')

It was a drive by love
Drive by love
Drive by love
