Cadillac Song
Ariana Grande Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ridin' round in my Cadillac
Thinkin' 'bout the day that I first saw you
Nothin' compares to what we had
And baby that won't change
I want you babe
I still want you babe
I still want you
Summer days with my honey
Worried 'bout not a thing
Back in the day when things were easier than the breeze
Who knew that kiss was the last one
I never thought we would change
Baby I'm missing you

Oh we shoulda been forever but fell apart
Might have separated but you took my heart
Always knew I wasn't really over us
And sometimes I catch myself

Ridin' round in my Cadillac
Thinkin' 'bout the day that I first saw you
Nothin' compares to what we had
And baby that won't change
I want you babe
I still want you babe
I still want you
You yea

Memories last forever
So how could I just forget
Made everything from nothin' 'cause time was all we spent

Oh we shoulda been forever but fell apart
Might have separated but you took my heart
Always knew I wasn't really over us
And sometimes I catch myself

Ridin' round in my Cadillac
Thinkin' bout the day that I first saw you
Nothin' compares to what we had
And baby that won't change
I want you babe
I still want you babe
I still want you




You, yea
Oh baby, oh baby

まさにこの曲みたいな恋だったな😿
キャデラックではないけど、
ドライブで初めてあなたに出会って、
まさかあの車の中のキスが最後になるなんて
全く思ってもなかったし、
二人の関係がずっと続くと思ってたのに、
今でも信じられない。
きっと、一生忘れないし、想いは残るだろうな
でも、バーガーキングでこの歌に出会えてよかった
