Jersey Girl

Your daddy doesn't really like me much Something bout I'm not Catholic enough And I'm not Italian at all I like the way you dance barefoot down the shore It's a short drive from the city to yours I like the rings you wear and the tattoo on your ribcage Your daddy doesn't really like me much I don't wear a cross necklace And I don't get in fights or stay out past dawn But I like when you laugh at a dirty joke Your voice sounds like you used to smoke I like the way you swim backstroke I like the piercing in your nose Make me jealous of your tan skin The white sheets you're sleepin' in Make me wish I had more money Oh, Jersey Girl won't you love me Take what's dark and make it gold Curse at me in that raspy tone Put red polish on ya toes Ay Jersey Girl let me take you home Went to a big southern school Straight-A girl, nobody's fool Nobody's girlfriend either Too good to be true, you couldn't believe her She plays pool and she plays chess Plays with men's hearts within their chest Never settles for second best And with me tonight she's unimpressed Wontcha terrify me Say somethin' sassy Yell at me in the back of a taxi That would be just what I want Oh Jersey Girl The summer's so hot Take what's dark and make it gold Curse at me in that raspy tone Put red polish on ya toes Ay Jersey Girl let me take you home Want her so bad Sometimes I need to remind myself She'll never be mine But that's alright that's okay I wouldn't wanna live here anyway But I still can't stay away Oh Jersey Girl won't you slap my face Make me jealous of your tan skin The white sheets you're sleeping in Make me wish I had more money Jersey Girl won't you love me Take what's dark and make it gold Curse at me in that raspy tone Put red polish on ya toes Jersey Girl let me take you home
