If That's What You're Thinking

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."^[2] John Lomax III of United Feature Syndicate described the song as having a "Spanish touch".^[3] Brian Ahern produced the track, which was written by Randy Sharp.^[4]

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.^[2]
