Classic
MKTO Lyrics

Hey! Where's the drum?
Introduction before starting the song

Ooh girl you're shining
The singer is impressed by how radiant the girl looks

Like a 5th avenue diamond
The girl is shining brightly, like a glittering diamond on 5th Avenue.

And they don't make you like they used to
The girl has a timeless beauty that is not often found in the modern world

You're never going out of style
The girl's beauty and class will never fade away or be considered unfashionable

Ooh pretty baby
The singer expresses endearment towards the girl

This world might have gone crazy
The world might be crazy, but the girl brings a sense of order or calmness

The way you saved me,
The girl has done something for the artist that has been meaningful to him or her

Who could blame me
It's hard for the artist to resist being infatuated with the girl, given her charm and beauty

When I just wanna make you smile
The artist wants to do anything to make the girl happy and put a smile on her face

I wanna thrill you like Michael
The singer wants to excite the girl, just like Michael Jackson used to do during his performances

I wanna kiss you like Prince
The artist wants to be romantic and sensual with the girl, just like Prince was known for in his music

Let's get it on like Marvin Gaye
The singer wants to engage in some intimate moments with the girl, like Marvin Gaye has sung about

Like Hathaway write a song for you like this
The singer wants to write a love song that is as timeless as those written by Donny Hathaway

You're over my head
The girl is too good for the singer, and it's hard for him or her to understand how he or she was lucky enough to be with her

I'm out of my mind
The artist is overwhelmed and infatuated with the girl

Thinking I was born in the wrong time
The artist believes that he or she would have been a better fit in a different era, one where the girl's beauty and class was more appreciated

One of a kind, living in a world gone plastic
The girl is unique and genuine, surrounded by a world of fakeness and insincerity

Baby you're so classic
The girl's beauty and class is classic and timeless

Four dozen of roses
The artist will go to great lengths to impress the girl and get her attention, including buying her many roses

Anything for you to notice
The artist is willing to do anything, no matter how extreme, to make the girl take notice of him or her

All the way to serenade you
The artist is willing to put himself or herself out there, even publicly singing to the girl

Doing it Sinatra style
The singer is taking a classic and traditional approach, similar to how Frank Sinatra would do things to impress a girl

Ima pick you up in a Cadillac
The artist wants to show the girl how much he or she cares for her, by picking her up in a luxury car

Like a gentleman bringin' glamor back
The singer wants to be a gentleman, taking the girl out and giving her an experience that would have been considered glamorous in a different era

Keep it real to real in the way I feel
The singer is being genuine in expressing his or her feelings for the girl

I could walk you down the aisle
The singer wants to be with the girl forever, and is willing to marry her and be her partner for life

Baby you're class and baby you're sick
The girl is classy and amazing

I never met a girl like you ever til we met
The girl is different from anyone the artist has ever met before

A star in the 40's, centerfold in the 50's
The girl embodies the classic and timeless beauty and style of Hollywood stars from the 1940s and 1950s

Got me tripping out like the sixties
The girl has an effect on the singer that makes him or her feel like he or she is in the free-spirited 1960s

Hippies Queen of the discotheque
The girl is reminiscent of both the hippie and disco eras, a lively and free spirit

A 70's dream and an 80's best
The girl is the embodiment of both the 1970s and 1980s, a perfect combination of style and personality

Hepburn, Beyonce, Marilyn Manson
The girl is a combination of timeless elegance (Audrey Hepburn), powerful talent (Beyonce), and edgy uniqueness (Marilyn Manson)

Girl you're timeless, just so classic
The girl is timeless and classic, embodying everything that makes someone irreplaceable and unforgettable
