Driven By You - Queen

Part of an advertisement campaign for a Ford Motors TV commercial in the UK. Brian was hired to compose a jingle for the ad, and it became so popular that it was released as a single, and becoming a European top 10. Brian thought that Freddie's state of health could be an objection to release the single, but Freddie insisted that he should do it. As a sad coincidence, the single was released one day after Freddie passed away.

Oh - everything I do I do for you, Oh yeah

We touch and you're afraid of me and
We burn and now I'm at your feet
High speed, but you know you're in safe hands
In the dark we make a brighter light
From one spark to the horizon wide
We trust and together we tame the land - yeah
You'd be forgiven if you think you're dreaming
But we're working night and day to make a dream come true - yeah
Everything I do is driven by you

Oh - come on babe
Oh well it's tough to make a journey through
The right stuff is dead ahead of you and me
And you know we've still got time
Hold on tight to the driving wheel
This ride is really out of line
Raw deal, but there's no other that's worth a dime
You know I love you but you drive me crazy
Because you're saying all the things I want to say to you
You say
Everything I do is driven by you

Everything we do, Everything we do
Everything we do, Everything we do
Everything we do is driven by you

Inner children lost their way
Now they know the price you pay
I'm holding on to life with you
Because life without you just won't do
Driven by you

You know I'm never going to know who's dreaming
But we're working night and day to make a dream come true - yeah
Everything I do is driven by you
Everything we do, Everything we do
Everything we do, Everything we do
Everything we do, Everything we do
Everything we do, Everything we do
Everything we do is driven by
Driven by
Driven by you
Oh - everything I do I do for you
