It's a woman like that
She's gonna break your back
She has kind of a knack
To give a heart attack
Listen close
To what I say
I've been there before you
I'd like to help you find your way
In your quiet despair
You see her everywhere
It's like a kind of a hush
That makes you think too much
Talk to me
Am I getting through?
You say you love this girl now
You don't even know her
Cadillac, Cadillac
Takes me back to when I was younger
Cadillac won't be back
She has found a better driver
Than you
Such a silent pain
It goes against the grain
It's like a hungry cat
She scratches just like that
Turn away
From her eyes
Nighttime is her only friend
The light of day her enemy
Cadillac, Cadillac
Takes me back to when I was younger
Cadillac won't be back
She has found a better
Well, my friend, my words are few
Life is time and time's a teacher
And one thing before I go
I almost married her
I almost married her
Cadillac, Cadillac
Takes me back to when I was younger
Cadillac won't be back
She has found a better driver
Cadillac, Cadillac
Takes me back to when I was younger
Cadillac won't be back
She has found a better driver
