Cardirac Style
Cledus T. Judd Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well she won't wear her contacts, she won't wear glasses
So she can't see me while I'm makin' passes
And every time she tries to kiss me she misses by a mile
Because my little baby loves me cadirac style

I remember the first night we started datin'
Both of her pupils were dilatin'
And in the back of my Lincoln we got a little wild

Oh my little baby loves me cadirac style

Well, she don't care if the lights are on or off
As long as I watch so we don't get caught
"Cause what we're doin', we could be fined
And the law don't care true love is blind

Well, she wrecked my new Honda in Panima City
Slung her through the windshield, now she ain't so purdy
And though she's missin' all her teeth, she's still got a cute smile
Oh my lttle baby loves me cadirac style

Well, she don't care if the lights are on or off
As long as I watch so we don't get caught
'Cause what we're doin', we could be fined
And the law don't care if true love is blind

Well, she says one day she's gonna get me to the altar
Swears up and down I look like Clay Walker!
And when I try to tell her different she gets a little riled
Oh my little baby loves me cadirac style
Because my little baby loves me cadirac style
Oh no my little baby loves me cadirac style

She thinks I look like David Hasselhoff.
"There's you're glasses on."

OOPS
She just stepped on 'em.

Overall Meaning

The song "Cadillac Style" by Cledus T. Judd is a humorous take on a couple's unconventional love, which is being expressed through the lens of a car brand. The first verse of the song indicates that the woman in the relationship won't wear her contacts and glasses, which makes her miss out on the advances by the singer. However, the title of the song "Cadillac Style" suggests that the singer's love interest has a particular way of expressing her love, which is not traditional. They started dating in the back of a Lincoln and got flirty, and the singer's partner doesn't care if the lights are on or off, as long as they don't get caught while being intimate. The phrase "Cadillac Style" gets reiterated several times in the song, implying the unconventional yet passionate way the singer's partner expresses her love.

Throughout the rest of the song, the couple continues their unconventional but passionate love journey. The singer's lover doesn't mind going against the law or risking disfiguration and still maintains the charm to have a great smile even though she has lost some teeth. The song closes with the singer reminiscing about the moment when his lover mistook him for country music artist Clay Walker, which made her concerned about the future partner's looks.

Overall, "Cadillac Style" is a humorous take on a love story that, despite being unconventional, is passionate, and the pair loves each other "Cadillac Style."
