This song represented Turkey in the Eurovision song contest in
1980. This is the English version circulating at the time, which
means, it is not a translation. Some Turkish man wrote the lyrics
to fit the melody so some parts of it may be non-standard
English.

LOVING ON PETROL
Turkey 1980 / Ajda Pekkan
Written by Sanar Yurdatapan & Atilla Ozdemiroglu
Don't give me a diamond ring 'cause that's not what I need
Just give me some gasoline and you fill up my dreams
When I think I'm running out, my whole inside goes out
So don't talk of precious gems, just give me liquid gold
Caviar is not my style and champagne's not my game
But I've had the taste of oil and it's flowing through my veins
What good is a silver ounce when you don't have the gas?
Let me have enough to go and our love is sure to last
Loving on petrol, loving on petrol
Flowing, blowing, rolling, going one way to heaven
Loving on petrol, loving on petrol
So hot, don't stop, come on, make me happy forever
The wheels are turning, energy's burning
If we found a well then we could share it all together
Loving on petrol, loving on petrol
Just step on the gas and watch the whole wide world go past us
Once I had a wealthy man and he was good to me
I left him for somebody else who satisfied my needs
Every night I go to him, and don't you know, for free
He gives me some hard-chased oil and makes my life complete
Yesterday I read the news the oil supply is short
So I've got to get it all before maybe there's no more
We're so close to empty now that soon we'll have to stop
So let's get another tank while the motor's running hot
Loving on petrol, loving on petrol
Flowing, blowing, rolling, going one way to heaven
Loving on petrol, loving on petrol
So hot, don't stop, come on, make me happy forever
The wheels are turning, energy's burning
If we found a well then we could share it all together
Loving on petrol, loving on petrol
Just step on the gas and watch the whole wide world go past us
Loving on petrol, loving on petrol
Flowing, blowing, rolling, going one way to heaven
Loving on petrol, loving on petrol
Nothing could be nicer than our loving on petrol
