Turn Me On

Sticking your key in me
Goes straight to my battery
Then my starter starts spinning
Sending sparks to my ignition

Your gas goes into my carburetor
Causing an explosion in my piston well
When you press on my accelerator  
That makes me move faster

When you turn me over in the morning
You always signal first
You make my eyes bright with delight
But when it rains

You wipe my tears away
You make me sing when you play with my CD
Please don't STOP
My check engine light needs turning on

My engine isn't HOT! enough

(Making it clear this is a girl car, lol)
