Somethin' Else
Dreams on Wheels: A Tale of Love, Ambition, and '41 Fords
Lyrics
Uh-look-ah there
Expressing excitement or attention towards something/someone
There she comes
Referring to a specific girl approaching
Here comes that girl again
Highlighting the recurring presence of the mentioned girl
Wanted to date her since I don't know when
Expressing a desire to date her for a long time
But she don't notice me when I pass
Not being noticed by the girl when passing by
She goes with older guys from out of my class
Indicating that the girl is involved with older guys
But that can't stop me from-ah thinkin' to myself
Despite the obstacles, the speaker is thinking positively
She's sure fine lookin' man
Complimenting the girl's physical appearance
She's somethin' else
Concluding that the girl is exceptional or extraordinary
Hey look-ah there
Drawing attention to something else across the street
Across the street
Indicating a specific location
There's a car made just for me
Describing a car that the speaker desires
To own that car would be a luxury
Expressing the luxury associated with owning the mentioned car
But right now I can't afford the gas
Currently unable to afford the fuel for the desired car
A brand new convertible is out of my class
The car is beyond the speaker's current social or financial status
But that can't stop me from-ah thinkin' to myself
Positive thinking despite obstacles
That car's fine lookin' man
Complimenting the attractiveness of the car
It's somethin' else
Reiterating that the car is extraordinary
Hey look-ah here
Encouraging anticipation for future events
Just wait and see
Expressing confidence in achieving goals
Workin' hard and savin' my dough
Working hard and saving money to achieve a goal
I'll buy that car that I've be wanting so
Reaffirming the desire to acquire the dream car
Get me that girl and we'll go ridin' around
Planning to enjoy a ride with the desired girl
The town will be all shocked with my white top down
Anticipating the reaction of the town to the speaker's success
I'll keep right on and dreamin' and-ah thinkin' to myself
Continuing to dream positively
When it all comes true, man
Expressing amazement when dreams come true
Wow! That's somethin' else
Excitement at the realization of goals
Look-ah here
Expressing surprise or curiosity about a situation
What's all this?
Questioning a current state of affairs
Never thought I'd do this before
Acknowledging unexpected actions
But here I am ah-knockin' on her door
Initiating contact with the girl
My car's out front and it's all mine
Boasting about owning a car, though not the dream car
Just a '41 Ford not a '59
Clarifying the model of the owned car
I got that girl and I'm-ah thinkin' to myself
Achieving the goal of getting the girl
She's sure fine lookin' man
Complimenting the girl's appearance again
Wow! She's somethin' else
Reiterating the exceptional nature of the girl
