Somethin' Else
Chasing Dreams: Unrequited Love and Car Dreams in 'Somethin' Else'
Lyrics
Uh-look-ah there
Expressing surprise or admiration at a sight
There she comes
Referring to a specific girl approaching
Here comes that girl again
Identifying a recurring girl
Wanted to date her since I don't know when
Desire to date her for an extended period
But she don't notice me when I pass
Feeling unnoticed when passing by her
She goes with older guys from out of my class
Observing that she dates older guys
But that can't stop me from-ah thinkin' to myself
Determined mindset despite challenges
She's sure fine lookin' man
Expressing admiration for her appearance
She's somethin' else
Summarizing that she is exceptional
Hey look-ah there
Drawing attention to another interesting sight
Across the street
Pointing across the street
There's a car made just for me
Describing a car tailored to personal taste
To own that car would be a luxury
Expressing the luxury of owning such a car
But right now I can't afford the gas
Mentioning financial constraints for gas
A brand new convertible is out of my class
Realizing the car is currently unaffordable
But that can't stop me from-ah thinkin' to myself
Positive thoughts despite limitations
That car's fine lookin' man
Reiterating admiration for the car
It's somethin' else
Emphasizing the exceptional nature of the car
Hey look-ah here
Encouraging anticipation of future events
Just wait and see
Requesting patience to witness progress
Workin' hard and savin' my dough
Commitment to hard work and saving money
I'll buy that car that I've be wanting so
Expressing the desire to purchase the dream car
Get me that girl and we'll go ridin' around
Imagining a romantic scenario with the girl
The town will be all shocked with my white top down
Envisioning a dramatic scene with a convertible
I'll keep right on and dreamin' and-ah thinkin' to myself
Continued positive thoughts and dreams
When it all comes true, man
Anticipating the realization of dreams
Wow! That's somethin' else
Expressing excitement when dreams come true
Look-ah here
Expressing surprise or curiosity
What's all this?
Questioning a situation or observation
Never thought I'd do this before
Reflecting on unexpected actions
But here I am ah-knockin' on her door
Taking bold steps, knocking on her door
My car's out front and it's all mine
Proud ownership of a modest 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
Successfully winning the girl's attention
She's sure fine lookin' man
Reaffirming admiration for the girl's looks
Wow! She's somethin' else
Expressing awe at the exceptional nature of the girl
