History.
Karen Brooks recorded "If That's What You're Thinking" on her 1982 album "Walk On". The song features two verses, a refrain, a bridge sung in Spanish, followed by a repeat of the chorus and first verse. Erin E. Bauer, in the book "Flaco's Legacy: The Globalization of Conjunto" describes the song as being about "fear on the part of the vocalist to express vulnerability in the face of a loving relationship." John Lomax III of United Feature Syndicate described the song as having a "Spanish touch". Brian Ahern produced the track, which was written by Randy Sharp.
Texas Tornados covered the song on their 1990 Reprise Records album "Texas Tornados". Their rendition adds a verse not present in the original by Brooks, while also altering the words of the Spanish-language bridge. Bauer thought this rendition combined elements of country and conjunto.
