Cetera, Peter - They Don't Make 'Em Like They Used To Lyrics






It's every young boy's fancy
It's there hidden deep in the heart of a man
It's just a feeling
They won't ever understand
They know they gotta have one
A brand new model and it's here today
And don't you know that she's made right here in the U.S.A.

[chorus]
Don't ever stop trying
Don't let her get away
They don't make 'em like they used to
I think they're better than before
It's more than physical attraction
Keeps you coming back for more

She's a home grown beauty
She's born and raised with a mind of her own
And once you find her
You'll never want to leave her alone
She's making you crazy
You can't live without her, she's here to stay
Don't you know that she lives right here in the U.S.A.

[chorus]

They don't make 'em like they used to
They're so much better than before

I'm so tired of hearing--(I'm so tired)
Some people say--(what people say)
Everything is moving much too fast
Things were better in the good old days
Let them have their opinions--(let them have...)
Never gonna change their mind--(they'll never change)
They lived a long time ago
When times were tough
And a real good woman was hard to find

They don't make 'em like they used to
I think they're better than before
It's more than physical attraction
That keeps you coming back for more

[chorus]

They don't make 'em like they used to
They're so much better than before

    Can anyone tell me what those sounds are in the interlude? It sounds like it could be the percussion symbolizing robots on an assembly line, but I'm not exactly sure.

    j.... w....

    Women obviously. In the bridge, there is a lyric that says "They lived back a long time ago when times were tough and a real good woman was hard to find."

    j.... w....

    It sounds like he could be talking about a brand new 1986 American sports or muscle car like a Camaro/Firebird/Fiero/Mustang/Capri/Daytona/Laser/Corvette etc. in the first verse & an American girl in the second.

    j.... w....

    He could be talking about both see stay the night.. by Chicago

  10. X.... H....

    When I got the Solitude Solitaire CD in 1998 as a freshman in high school, I always played this song over and over. I'm surprised it wasn't a huge hit.

  11. F.... ....

    This song sounds like straight out of a 1980s American car commercial. In fact, has it ever been featured in one?
