Downtown Girls - American Aquarium

Downtown girls look pretty in the bar lights

Downtown girls look pretty after hours

They look like trouble and they taste like gin

But they smell like dogwood flowers

Downtown girls, man, they’re all the same at heart

They’re just goin' through the motions

They’ll call you handsome if you buy them a drink

They’re as empty as a Valentine’s Day without the roses

Downtown girls are gonna hurt you

They only care about themselves

Downtown girls are gonna desert you

And leave you feelin' sorry for yourself

A downtown girl’s like a card game

She can bluff a mean twenty-one

I’d sneak her in to all my favorite bars

She can lie to your face through a smile, oh I should’ve seen it comin'

Downtown girls are gonna hurt you

They only care about themselves

Downtown girls are gonna desert you

And leave you feelin' sorry for yourself

A downtown girl, man, she could have been the one

If it was only me she’d chosen

She’s got these eyes that can turn stars to stone

The only problem is she knows it

Downtown girls are gonna hurt you

They only care about themselves

Downtown girls are gonna desert you

And leave you feelin' sorry for yourself

Downtown girls are gonna hurt you

They only care about themselves

Downtown girls are gonna desert you

And leave you feelin' sorry for yourself

Aw yeah well…
