"Burn Rubber on Me (Why You Wanna Hurt Me)" is a song originally performed by The Gap Band and written by member Charlie Wilson and producer Lonnie Simmons. It peaked at number eighty-four on the Hot 100 but it was a number one hit on the R&B charts.
The song's lyrics refer to abandonment by an unspecified lover. The phrase "Burn Rubber on Me" itself refers to said woman driving off while her lover is away. The narrative is continued in "Early in the Morning".
A leter single released, featuring "Humpin'" on the B-side, scored a #19 appearance on the dance charts.
Widely considered a funk classic, it can still be heard often on Adult Soul radio stations.
