[Verse]
A look a-theDre, here she comDes
DHere comes that girl again
Wanted to date her since I don't know when
But Ashe don't notice me when I pass
She Ggoes with all the guys from outta my class
But Athat can't stop me from a-Gthinkin' to myself
DShe's sure fine lookin' man, she's somethin elseA  
Hey, look a-therDe, across the streeDt
DThere's a car made just for me
To own that car would be a luxury
But Amy dollar can't afford the gas
A Gbrand new convertible is outta my class
But Athat can't stop me from a-Gthinkin' to myself
DThat car's fine lookin' man, it's somethin else
Hey, look a-herDe, just wait and seDe
DWorked hard and saved my dough
I'll buy that car that I been wanting so
AGet me that girl and we'll go ridin' around
We'll Glook real sharp with the flight top down
I Akeep right on a-dreamin' and a-Gthinkin' to myselfD  
DWhen it all comes true man, wow, that's somethin else
Look a-herDe, what's all thiDs
DNever thought I'd do this before
But here i am a-knockin' on her door
My Acar's out front and it's all mine
Just a Gforty-one ford, not a fifty-nine
I Agot that girl and I'm a-Gthinkin' to myself
DShe's sure fine lookin' man, wow, she's somethin else
