Ten thousand miles up in the sky
We never land ’cause we stay fly
I’ma be your bitch for life
If they try you, they gotta die
Baby, put one in the …
Been a prisoner of the past
Had a bitterness when I looked back
Was telling everyone it’s not that bad
‘Til all my shit hit the fan
I know I’m always like
Telling everybody you …

But I don’t really care unless he’s working out with me
He’s got a thing for flowers, but only certain kinds
And by …
You’re special
Yours truly
You pull me deep into my deepest desire
Can you meet me in the midnight?
Call me, hit me, ’cause I know you
You know me
When I’m fading
You’re the only one …
Woo girl you’re shining
Like a 5th Avenue diamond 1
And they don’t make you like they used to
You’re never going out of style 2
Woo pretty baby
This world might have gone crazy
The way you saved me, who could blame me
When I just wanna make you smile 3
I wanna thrill ya like Michael 4
I wanna kiss you like Prince 5
Let’s get it on like Marvin Gaye,6 like Hathaway
Write a song for you like this 7
You’re over my head, I’m out of my mind 8
Thinking I was born in the wrong time
One of a kind, living in a world gone plastic
Baby, you’re so classic (yea yea)
(Gone plastic) 9
Baby, you’re so classic (yea yea)
Baby you
Baby, you’re so classic 10
4 dozen thousand roses
Anything for you to notice 11
All the way to serenade you
Doing it Sinatra style 12
Ima pick you up in a Caddilac
Like a gentleman, bring it glamour back 13
Keep it real to real in the way I feel
I could walk you down the aisle 14
I wanna thrill ya like Michael
I wanna kiss you like Prince
Let’s get it on like Marvin Gaye, like Hathaway
Write a song for you like this
You’re over my head, I’m out of my mind
Thinking I was born in the wrong time
It’s not a rewind, everything is so throwback, yea

Out of my league, old school chic
Like a moviestar from a silver screen
You’re one of a kind, living in a world gone plastic
Baby, you’re so classic (yea yea)
Baby, you’re so classic (yea yea)
Baby, you’re so classic 16
Baby you’re class, and baby you’re sic
I never met a girl like you until we met 17
A star in the 40’s,18 centerfold in the 50’s 19
You got met trippin’ out like the 60’s – hippies 20
Queen of the discotheque
A 70’s gleam 21 with an 80’s vest 22
Hepburn, Beyonce, Marilyn, Massive 23
Girl you’re timeless
Just so classic 24
You’re over my head, I’m out of my mind
Thinking I was born in the wrong time
It’s not a rewind, everything is so throwback yea
I kinda like it like it
Out of my league, old school chic
Like a moviestar from a silver screen
You’re one of a kind, living in a world gone plastic
Baby, you’re so classic (whoa oh)
Baby, you’re so classic (yea yea)
Baby, you’re so classic
Ooooo
MKTO starts by saying that this girl is very beautiful or full of life. He compares her to a 5th Avenue diamond. 5th Avenue is one of New York City’s major points of interest and the area has been consistently ranked as one of the most prestigious and expensive areas in the US. A diamond from this address is most likely to be exquisite in design, expensive and hefty in weight, just like this girl.
He says that she is one of a kind just like the merchandise to be found on 5th Avenue, where one can get one of kind pieces of jewelery, architecture and art.
According to MKTO this girl saved him at a point when he was in dire need and because of that he would do or say anything to make her happy in gratitude, regardless of what the rest of the world has to say.
He wants to keep her excited just like in Michael Jackson’s Thriller hit released in 1983 in the Album Thriller, which features Michael and his date Ola Ray watching the movie thriller, it famous for its dances, thrilling and horrifying twists and it ends in suspense. So MKTO intends to make sure that their relationship is just as unpredictable.
Kiss is a song by Prince, a singer, instrumentalist and actor in the Album Parade and which was released in 1986.
‘Let get it on’ is a hit from Marvin Gaye’s album by the same song. It explores making love and related themes.
Hathaway is probably a reference to Donny Hathaway’s ‘A Song For You’ that was released in 2004 as part of the ‘These Songs For You, Live!’ an album that features his rare and out-of-print songs.
MKTO is of the opinion that he is doing something that he shouldn’t be doing and therefore feels that he is in, too deep for his own good.
He had the view that he was born a little to late to enjoy natural people in natural relationships. With her he has found that there is some hope of real people and real love in a world besieged by plastic looks and fake love.
He sings that she is the real deal, therefore a classic unlike the modern plastic people.
He will buy her 48 roses, if it means that she will pay attention to him and his requests.
He tells her that he is willing to serenade her like Sinatra. Frank Sinatra was a singer and an actor, widely known for his unique and distinctive voice, which was great for serenading the ladies. In the same way MKTO, will attempt to make his girl swoon at his feet.
MKTO is old school, he pick her up in a Cadillac instead of one of these youthful sports cars. Since MKTO is a group of youngsters this must mean a lot for them.
He thinks that because of the way he feels strongly about her that he could marry her.
MKTO is feeling the old school vibes, he likes the music, the cars, the etiquette and the glamour associated with those times.
MKTO with these lines shows that the girl likes things that are traditional and to him she does not look like the kind of girl who would fall for him, she seems to belong to a more sophisticated world.
He can’t seem to believe that this girl truly exists even though she is right there in front of him or that she is that good.
The 40s was the era when computers first came into being, the microwave oven, commercial television. World figures of importance included Mahatma Gandhi and Muhammad Ali, while in Hollywood Clark Gable and Rita Hayworth were making headlines besides the second world war. In fashion floral prints were the in thing; in culture, films like The Maltese Falcon and Pinocchio were making headlines. In literature, George Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four came out. In music this was the Swing era and Frank Sinatra was all the rage.
The 50s dawned with the first nuclear test by the US, the launch of the first artificial satellite into space. In film, Ben-Hur became a classic and entertainers like Elizabeth Taylor, Marilyn Monroe and Marlon Brando were ruling the big screen. In the music industry the likes of Elvis Presley, Louis Armstrong and Billie Holiday were cementing their fame.
He says that she has him tripping like the 60’s. The 1960s became the decade of the hippies as people loosened up in very many ways and is at times referred to as the swinging sixties. This era saw racism and sexism taking a back seat as well as decolonization. J.F.Kennedy became the president, Malcom X and Patrice Lumumba were assassinated. Yuri Gagarin and Neil Armstrong with others went into space and cars became common. In film 2001:A Space Odyssey, The Sound of Music and Bonnie and Clyde were released. In music, Motown Records Corporation was formed, bands like The Supremes, The Beatles and The Rolling Stones made it to the news. Individual artists like Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix, Harry Belafonte and Bob Marley achieved success. Of course the sixties would not be complete without the sexual revolution and the use of psychedelic drugs.
This era saw massive economic upheavals and Tom Wolfe coined it the ‘Me’ decade because of the individualization that took place. The cold war was still ongoing during this time, Margaret Thatcher rose to prominence and the US had the Vietnam war. In technology, the use on integrated circuits, MRI imaging and IVF began. Feminism gained ground and the civil rights movement crumbled. In Film, the God Father movies came out, Kramer vs Kramer, The Exorcist and Superman became the headliners. In Music, Stevie Wonder, The Jackson 5, Led Zeppelin and Queen, made major sales. Bell bottoms and native prints were the in thing during the decade. Tie and dye and batik were considered very fashionable.
The Theory of Global Warming was first discussed here, the Arab-Israeli war continued, and several coups took place. Home computers and video games became prominent, the AIDS pandemic began and gay rights continued. In film, there was Chariots of Fire, Batman, Out of Africa, Fatal Attraction and Indiana Jones. In music, Madonna,Michael Jackson, Prince, Whitney Houston, Guns and Roses and AC/DC ruled. This was also the era in which hip hop began with groups like Run-D.M.C., A Tribe Called Quest, EPMD, Public Enemy and others became established. The fashion in this decade was termed as the new romantic movement, with teased hair and cut out jeans.
He combines the new and old by having Beyonce and Marilyn Monroe to show the nature of their relationship, a classic relationship in a modern world. Hepburn could mean either Audrey Hepburn, who was an actress and a fashion icon, or it can mean Katherine Hepburn, an actress and a leading lady in Hollywood for over sixty years.
Like all these decades, MKTO says that she is an embodiment of it all.

Yahmi
Well i basically think that classic is about a girl who is different from every girl he has ever meet and he loves her
