Symbol '.' Are Pause Dots
A look a-there, here she comes
There comes that girl again
Wanted to date her since I don't know when
But she don't notice me when I pass
She goes with all the guys from outa my class
But that can't stop me from a-thinkin' to myself
She's sure fine-lookin' man, she's something else
Hey, look a-there, across the street
There's a car made just for me
To own that car would be a luxury
But my dollar can't afford the gas
A brand new convertible is outa my class
But that can't stop me from a-thinkin' to myself
That car's fine-lookin' man, it's something else
Hey, look a-here, just wait and see
Worked hard and saved my dough
I'll buy that car that I been wanting so
Get me that girl and we'll go ridin' around
We'll look real sharp with the flight top down
I keep right on a-dreamin' and a-thinkin' to myself
When it all comes true man, wow, that's something else
Look a-there, what's all this
Never thought I'd do this before
But here I am a-knockin' on her door
My car's out front and it's all mine
Just a forty-one Ford, not a fifty-nine
I got that girl an' I'm a-thinkin' to myself
