Do you think I told

The song "Hi Low" by Ashley Ballard is about a woman who is interested in a man and is trying to gauge his interest in her. In the first verse, she asks him if he believes that she is telling the truth about wanting to be with him and promising to treat him well. In the chorus, she acknowledges his attention and interest in her, and she wonders what will happen between them if he decides to stick around.
The second verse suggests that the woman is cautious about moving too fast in the relationship, but she wants the man to know how she feels about him. The bridge repeats the woman's belief that the man is the one for her, and she likes his car. The song ends with a repetition of the chorus and the woman expressing her desire to grow and obtain the man's love.
Overall, "Hi Low" is a playful and flirty song about the beginning stages of a romantic relationship. The woman is trying to show her interest in the man without coming on too strong, and she is curious to see if he feels the same.
