Looking Back to See
Nostalgic Glances and Model T Romance
Lyrics
I was looking back to see if you were looking back to see
I was checking to see if you were also looking back at me
If I was looking back to see if you were looking back at me
Confirming if I, in turn, was catching your gaze
You were cute as you could be standing looking back at me
You looked charming while observing me in return
And it was plain to see that I'd enjoy your company
It was evident that I would enjoy spending time with you
One Sunday afternoon as I was ridin' down the street
Recalling a Sunday afternoon while riding down the street
I met a cute little girl all dressed up so neat
Encountering an attractively dressed girl
And the way that she was stacked I wish I'd've had a Cadillac
Expressing a desire for a better car (Cadillac) to impress her
For who would notice me just drivin' this model T
Feeling unnoticed while driving a modest model T
I was looking back to see...
Repeating the theme of checking each other out
Now listen baby it don't matter to me
Conveying that the type of car doesn't matter to the speaker
Even in your model T you're as cute as you can be
Complimenting the attractiveness of the person, regardless of the car
If you'll take me for a ride I will set close by your side
Offering to accompany the person for a ride
And I will guarantee that we'll have fun oh man alive
Assuring a good time together
I was looking back to see...
Reiterating the act of looking back at each other
Oh gee oh me perhaps you'd notice me if I wadn't drivin' this model T
Expressing a wish that the person would notice despite the modest car
I was looking back to see...
Repeating the theme of checking each other out
