Cars, The - Think It Over Lyrics

Buddy Holly brought me here and I'm glad I like this song

1981 ------ When the world was young.

RIP RIC,AND BEN,CONDOLENCES TO FAMILY AND BAND MEMBERS, YOU GUYS WERE ONE OF THE BEST.

"Think it over!" Mr. Orr. Mr. Ocasek God Bless.

REST❣ IN❣ PEACE ♥RIC♥

a hidden gem. RIP Ric

this song only went to #41 on the mainstream rock charts in 1982!!!

RIP Ric, another of your great tunes!

Ben sang this particular song.

Joe Jackson stole this song's bass pattern for Steppin' Out Tonight.

Ben's the Man right ? I mean, think it over :)

The coolest part of this song is the way Been Orr sings this song!!! As a matter of fact it's tooooooo cool!!!!! Love the Cars😀!!!!!!!!!

American new wave

I would set the Time machine back for when this Album came out,1981,to meet Covergirl.

The cover girl looks like a Cross between Rachel mcAdams and Christie Brinkley,had a baby,and she is end result.

Reminds me of High School, good times...

This just barely missed the top forty on the rock charts.

Damn Skippy Daniel !! I'm not from the South but picked up that "Damn Skippy" from working at Ozark Aviation (aka Alice Walton's repair station) in Bentonville Ark Go Pack Go

WHEN THE FUCK ARE WE GETTING THEM INTO THE ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME DAMN IT !!!!

If I were them I would form a new rock and roll hall of fame, because some of the garbage that is inducted into the current one shows it's not about music but politics.

If I was one a deserted island, and could only bring one Cars song, this would be it (and I am a big fan). I was living on the Jersey Shore in 1981 when Shake It Up came out. I thought it was a great album! I could barely steer the car straight when I was listening to it. Synth-driven guitar rock with outstanding drumming (David Robinson is an under-rated drummer) coalescence into one great pop/rock song. Thanks for posting.

every time I see you I got to jump and shout
I haven't got a clue what it's all about
oo I never had a dream that looked so much like you
I'll do anything that you want me to
(think it over, think it over)
there's nothin' you can do to make me wanna stop
(think it over, think it over)
oo every time you run around it makes me want to pop
what's it gonna take to make you change your line?
what's it gonna take to get your valentine?
how can I be sure that you're the one for me?
I only know that you wanted to be free
(think it over, think it over)
there's nothin' you can do to make me wanna stop
(think it over, think it over)
every time you run around it makes me want to pop
nothin' you can do to make me wanna stop
every time you run around makes me want to pop
nothin' you can do to make me wanna stop
think it over
pop (echo)
pop
every time I see you I got to jump and shout
I haven't got a clue what it's all about
I never had a dream that looked so much like you
well I'll do anything that you want me to
(think it over, think it over)
there's nothin' you can do to make me wanna stop
(think it over, think it over)
every time you run around it makes me want to pop
(think it over, think it over)
well nothin' you can do to make me wanna stop
(think it over, think it over)
e-every time you run around it makes me want to pop
there's nothin' you can do to make me wanna stop
every time you run around it makes me want to pop
there's nothin' you can do to make me wanna stop
think it over
yeah
(think it over)

Reminds me of High School in 81.

The best Cars jam ever! This should had gotten a lot of airplay!

It did get a lot of air time in the SF bay area back in the day.

It did in LA.

They played the heck out of it in Philly on WYSP and WMMR

My favorite song off of Shake It Up. Helped me get over the fact that I didn't like Shake It Up as much as Panorama. But I later realized that the Cars were just moving into their next phase, which they continued to do with later albums.

Bob Smith this was the last cars album I got - moved on to u2 Smith's etc

What a delightful, airy, fresh-feeling, song. Have a lovely day.

OK back of CD Shake it Up, the Cars fourth album, was originally released in November 1981. Produced by Roy Thomas Baker, who was also at the controls for the band's three previous LP's etc, etc

this song is fresh air . i love the cars

THE CARS grande gruppo ! :)

The cars bring on a lot of synth - with a little Elvis vocal flair added in...

My FAVORITE CARS SONG EVER!!!

i look at you and listen to soing i feel sexy hee hhee

i hear that sexy chorus beat..and i look at you

great song..tamara...

Tamara Owens 1981 caught me by surprise The Cars with this jam!

Tamara Owens I was 14 Back then,

Every time you run around it makes me wanna pop, nothin' you can do to make me wanna stop........Think it over.....Nothin' you can do.......nothin' you can do......

TheSeebeesee think think

IF THIS SONG DOES'NT MAKE YOU WANT TO DANCE AROUND THE ROOM THERE
MUST BE SOMTHING SERIOUSLY WRONG WITH YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
REMEMBER THE GOOD TIMES!!!!!!!!!

This song is best live!

EVERYTHING the Cars did was/is AMAZING!!! Their music is SO bouncy, good-feeling, pick me up no matter what music!!!

Definitely, and everything off candy-o. since i held you, lust for kicks, you cant hold on too long, all amazing songs.

also"i got a lot on my head" sexy song

songs like this, strap me in, and gimme some slack deserved to be bigger cars hits than they were

BagelMan83223 gimme some SLACK !

Seven malakas didn't think it over when disliking this fabulous eighties classic from the iconic rock band "The Cars."

Oh! Are you married?

This song takes me back LOVE IT !!!!!!!!!!!

ben orr channels elvis. the cars loved classic rock, lots of songs where they paid tribute to buddy holly, roy orbison, duane eddy, etc. in their own new wave/hard rock way.

@poppinfresh79 the CARS were the band who saved us from disco lol Also the CARS were not just a newwave band. The CARS were also guitar rock, listen to Let the Good Tiems Roll, Just What I Needed, Shake it Up, You Might Think, all of the songs have a guitar solo in them

What I want to know is what is going to save us from the crap they call music these days.

@SoundDeva5 Im not to fond of the Cure, but im a diehard fan of the CARS and Benjamin Orzechowski, one of the best vocalists, bassists ever.

Anything think you white

Played more than the bass...

I'm 47 years young, started listen to both The Cars and The Cure when I was 14, saw the Cars twice and the Cure four times, they both put on great concerts, AND I will die a Cars and a Cure fan!

I've had two convertables in my life, each time I played this song while driving them off the lot. Brings back great memories everytime.

Excelente canción del recuerdo

@BruceTVMan the CARS and Ben Orr were definitely influenced by the King Elvis Presely

@stp88661

And your still missing some! They have covered just about every genre...

@Blueyesinlevis58 i truly love you ...if youre a guy ...youre another best friend!!! the CAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

This is my "Electro Elvis" Song!!!!!!!!!

@09283265124 Im not sure but i know whose on the cover of the first two albums.

the first girl has passed. who is on Candy O? Its 2 different girls. one face, one body, and one is not the actress that people think.

@bashir1980 I know some bands from today got influenced by none other then the CARS, including Weezer, Bad Brains and No Doubt with Gwen Stefani

wooooooooooooooooooooot go cars

who's the girl in the cover?

@stp88661 I wonder the same thing, and now rap/hip hop bands are being inducted which is a joke. Hip hop shouldn't belong in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame at all, totally different type of music.

Back in the day from years gone past, the Cars had one good hit after the other, so why the fxxk are they not in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame? They pretty much covered every musical genre; pop, rock, punk, new wave & beautiful ballads, like "Drive." I've seen other acts that are of lesser effort that are inducted. I smell cronyism with a capitol F.U.!

Love this song! Ben Orr sounds like the King...Elvis Presley!

@joltinjack
Thank you, thank you, thank you, joltinjack!

MY FAVORITE CARS SONG FROM THE VERY BEGINING. Nice quality, thanks!

This song is happening in a far out way.

This is one of my favorite CARS songs. Punk and rock at the same time

@joltinjack Thanks joltinjack for this song. Brings me back to good times with good friends when I was growing up :)

@joltinjack Thanks joltinjack for this song. Brings me back to good times with good friends when I was growing up :)

Great Sound, distinctively "CARS" >> I feel sorry for all the people who are missing out by not hearing "ALL" of the Cars songs. So many never got the credit and airtime that they deserve. That's why the "TUBE" is so good. R.I.P. Benjamin. Thanks guys for putting out that kickazz sound for 10 years...

@jokingkong I had the cassette and used to play it in my mom's car. I loved the whole thing. Then was influenced by my friends and listened to other bands instead, like the Police

Like Fine wine these songs just keep getting better, maybe because of all the crap out there today.

Always liked the punky edge of this song.Great song.

One of my favorite Car's songs. Great bass line.

I was a DJ in a place called STRUTS, in Houston...where I wore this song out
...playin' it all the time- I'd have to agree, it might have been a bigger hit...But then again,that's when, what was and wasn't heard-was totally in the hands of the big record companies.Bad guys.
this tune reminds me of Elllll-vis..!

Its got That Elvis feel too it but we all know,its Cars all the way.. what a great song i forgot about.. shame on me..

The live version by paintdiva sounds pretty coool! Great song and the band!

LOL .. kind of like, "...now I put your soul into this cocktail shaker...muuaaahhh!"

Ben sounds like Elvis and David Bowie here. Great singing, so catchy.

Wow. Another good song from The Cars. Although this song was released in 1981, it sounds more like a mid-1980s beat or bass, whatever you call it. Anyways, The Cars rule! They are one of the most unique bands of all time. They cannot be topped or beat!

love the rythim guitar hook on the verses

Here's a great song I've not heard in a long time! The Cars were a great band, and this was one of my fave albums back in the day :)

Good performance singing by Benjamin Orr, !!!!
BEN FOREVER !!!

And a storyteller...
About 10 yrs ago my cocker spaniel was laying on my bed chewing on a bone...I was playing this album...when he heard the synth at the beginning...he stopped what he was doing and his ears went up...
funny as hell!
It was way cool to have a dog that listened to the cars, LOL

Like somebody said, this should have been a bigger hit then it was. I haven't heard it in a long long time and still sounds good.

JLD1964,
I tried posting a few cars videos from SNL a few months ago. They got yanked within 24 hours. And I received a stern warning from youtube! :-)

To Zannabobanna & Manny:

Glad y'all enjoyed this song.

I'm glad y'all enjoyed this. Rock on!

great song

I'm so glad somebody finally put this song on. This always made me wanna dance. It should have been one of their biggest hits. I'd love to see a live performance of it. I heard there is one out there somewhere. Thanks!
