About
From Genius, the ultimate source of music knowledge
This song is a ✨Single✨.
Off of HAIM's 2020 album Women In Music Pt. III, “Gasoline” is a sexy track about a possibly-dysfunctional relationship.
Said Danielle Haim:
That slowed-down ending is due to Ariel. He had this crazy EDM filter he stuck on the guitar, and I was like, 'Yes, that's fucking perfect.'
The band recorded a live performance of the track for Jimmy Kimmel Live. The video was shot during the summer of the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic in the empty parking lot of the “The Forum”, a music venue in Inglewood, California
A remix featuring Taylor Swift was released on February 18th, 2021, and featured on the extended edition of Women In Music Pt III.
Lyrics
[Verse 1: HAIM]
You took me back
But you shouldn't have
Now it's your fault if I mess around
I took a drag
But I shouldn't have
Now I'm coughing up like I
Never smoked a pack
[Chorus: HAIM]
Gasoline, pretty please
I want to get off
But you're such a tease
Throw the keys back to me
Go on and kick off your boots
In the passenger seat
[Verse 2: Taylor Swift]
I get sad, you know I get sad
And I can't look past what I'm sad about
You did me bad (Did me bad, did me bad)
And I did it back (Did it back, did it back)
You needed ass, well, what's
Wrong with that?
[Chorus: HAIM & Taylor Swift]
Gasoline (Gasoline), pretty please (Pretty please)
I want to get off (Gasoline)
But you're such a tease
Throw the keys (Throw the keys) back to me (Back to me)
Go on and kick off your boots (Gasoline)
In the passenger seat
[Bridge: HAIM & Taylor Swift]
Strike a match, strike a match, watch it blow
We're watching the sunrise from the kitchen counter
Want you bad, want you bad, don't you know?
When you're lying between my legs it doesn't matter
Strike a match, strike a match, watch it blow
You say you wanna go slower but I wanna go faster
Want you bad, want you bad, don't you know?
Faster and faster
[Outro: HAIM]
Gasoline, pretty please
I want to get off
But you're such a tease
