Lyrics
| I know I'm not that tall I know I'm not that smart But let me drive my van into your heart Let me drive my van into your heart I know I'm not that rich I'm trying to get my start So let me drive my van into your heart Let me drive my van into your heart And if we look out of place Well, baby, that's okay I'll drive us into outer space Where we can't hear what people say I know I don't have a plan I'm working on that part At least I've got a van So let me drive my van into your heart Let me drive my van into your heart (4x) |

- It is shown in the episode "Laser Light Cannon", that Steven likes this song quite a lot despite hearing it several times before.

- The song appears again briefly in "Greg the Babysitter" when Greg begins working at It's a Wash. Greg changes the lyrics to "Let Me Drive My Van (Into Your Wash)" to reflect his new job.
