The Cars - You Might Think Lyrics

Oh well uh you might think I’m crazy
To hang around with you
Or maybe you think I’m lucky
To have somethin’ to do
But I think that you’re wild
Inside me is some child

You might think I’m foolish
Or maybe its untrue
(you might think I’m crazy)
You might think I’m crazy
(all I want is you)
But all I want is you

You might think its hysterical
But I know when you’re weak
You think you’re in the movies
And everything’s so deep
But I think that you’re wild
When you flash that fragile smile

You might think its foolish
What ya put me through
(you might think I’m crazy)
You might think I’m crazy
(all I want is you)
All I want is you

And it was hard so hard to take
Theres no escape without a scrape
But you kept it going till the sun fell down
You kept it going

Oh well uh you might think I’m delirious
The way I run you down
But somewhere sometimes
When you’re curious
Ill be back around
Oh I think that you’re wild
And so-o uniquely styled

You might think its foolish
This chancy rendezvous
(you might think I’m crazy )
You might think I’m crazy
(all I want is you)
All I want is you-a-oo
All I want is you
(all I want is you)
All I want is you

The Cars - You Might Think Review and Song Info

The track was the first single to be released off Heartbeat City. Thanks in part to a striking video, “You Might Think” became a substantial hit in the US (peaking at #7) and in Canada (peaking at #8).
In the UK, however, where there was no 24-hour TV station playing videos (a la MTV in the US or MuchMusic in Canada), the track only made it to #88 on the pop charts.

The music video is one of the first music videos to ever use computerized effects. The video features band leader Ric Ocasek and model Susan Gallagher in a series of encounters. Ocasek appears in her bathroom mirror, in her mouth and as a fly, among other incarnations, thanks to computer imagery.

The model in the video is often mistaken with Ocasek’s future wife, Paulina Porizkova, although there is little resemblance. Paulina appears in the video of “Drive”.

“You Might Think” won the first MTV Video Music Award for Video of the Year, the only VMA garnered by The Cars. It was directed by Alex Weil.
