There she comes
Here comes that girl again
Wanted to date her since I don't know when
But she don't notice me when I pass
She goes with older guys from out of my class
But that can't stop me from-ah thinkin' to myself
She's sure fine lookin' man
Hey look-ah there
Across the street
There's a car made just for me
To own that car would be a luxury
But right now I can't afford the gas
A brand new convertible is out of my class
But that can't stop me from-ah thinkin' to myself
That car's fine lookin' man
It's somethin' else
Hey look-ah here
Just wait and see
Workin' hard and savin' my dough
I'll buy that car that I've be wanting so
Get me that girl and we'll go ridin' around
The town will be all shocked with my white top down
I'll keep right on and dreamin' and-ah thinkin' to myself
When it all comes true, man
Wow! That's somethin' else
Look-ah here
What's all this?
Never thought I'd do this before
But here I am ah-knockin' on her door
My car's out front and it's all mine
Just a '41 Ford not a '59
I got that girl and I'm-ah thinkin' to myself
She's sure fine lookin' man
Wow! She's somethin' else
The song "Something Else" by Eddie Cochran is about the singer's infatuation with a girl who is out of his league and his dream of owning a swanky car. He laments that she doesn't notice him, and she goes out with older guys who are not even in his class. He yearns for the girl and the car that he cannot afford at the moment. As time passes by, he works hard, saves money and finally achieves his dreams. The girl notices him, and he takes her out in his new car. He can't believe his luck, and he thinks to himself that she is something else.
The song is simple and straightforward, expressing the universal theme of unrequited love and the longing for material possessions. The use of the phrase "something else" emphasizes the intensity of the singer's admiration, whether it's for the girl or the car. Overall, the song portrays the American Dream of rising above one's circumstances through hard work and perseverance.

She's a frequent sight that catches my attention every time

Hey look-ah there
I just spotted something else worth looking at
Across the street
Over there, on the other side of the road
There's a car made just for me
I couldn't have designed a more perfect car for myself
To own that car would be a luxury
I would be living in luxury if I had that car
But right now I can't afford the gas

What's all this?
I can't believe I'm doing this
Never thought I'd do this before
This is completely out of character for me
But here I am ah-knockin' on her door
I'm taking the initiative to approach her
My car's out front and it's all mine
I'm showing up in the car of my dreams
Just a '41 Ford not a '59
It's an older car, not the latest model
I got that girl and I'm-ah thinkin' to myself
I successfully won her over and I'm feeling good
She's sure fine lookin' man
Not only is she stunning, but she's also a wonderful person
Wow! She's somethin' else
She's truly remarkable and I can't believe I'm lucky enough to be with her

Lyrics
Here she comes; she's cool like sin,
I can feel my blood get thin.
Here she comes; she'll suck me in,
Take a deep breath and begin.
She's wild-eyed and confident,
Heard my words, knew what I meant
And you can be my only friend,
When they dump me in the end.
It isn't money why she sticks around,
She's stuck in mud; she's trying to take me down.
She behaves like she's on fire,
On her tip-toes, reach up higher.
And if the doctor can't do tricks,
You can use your normal fix.
And if she asks you why you can't complain,
You kiss her cheek and say you can today.
And I can't wake her up, because she's already dead,
I can't wake her up; did you hear what I said?
Here she comes; she's cool like sin,
I can feel my blood get thin.
Here she comes; she'll suck me in,
Take a deep breath and begin
