lyrics

What’s it I have he says he wants so bad?
I met him once and now he’s going mad
Jersey boy don’t know me far beneath or beyond
My hazel-eyed stare or my glossy red lips

“How did I get her? How’d she look my way?”
He asked himself too often by day
Said it to me and I threw my head back ‘cause
People like this know just what they lack

I asked why he’s so sweet and he said
I have what he wants, so his effort’s extreme
New Jersey to Boston just to see me
He’d drive for miles despite uncertainties

Not made of fire, not out of his league
Excessive compliments just make me fatigued
Here’s a new one, never heard before
He said, “Damn. Baby, you are such a smoke show”

He said his hands would stay around my waist
A man looked at me, he’d break out the mace
And here’s the catch, he said this on the first date
And when I was 16, I was major jailbait

Neither a knight nor a prince with a sword
He would swoon when I strummed a guitar chord
Didn’t know what to do when he gazed
Those blue eyes said he was in a daze

Whenever he called he said “hey gorgeous”
I turned red and that was his goal
But what else was on that blonde boy’s mind?
Either way, my ego took absolutely no toll

Not made of fire, not out of his league
Excessive compliments just make me fatigued
Here’s a new one, never heard before
He said, “Damn. Baby, you are such a smoke show”

Before we met, he willingly chased
Said I’m a rocket, a sniper, and babe
They’re all synonymous with “she’s so hot”
My vocabulary’s heightened, and that’s all that I got

One thing I’ll give him, he meant no harm
I spoke like a bitch, he wasn’t alarmed
My confrontation was quite damn intense
He didn’t act like it was at his expense

But I’m

Not made of fire, not out of his league
Excessive compliments just make me fatigued
Here’s a new one, never heard before
He said, “Damn. Baby, you are such a smoke show”

“Yeah, you are such a smoke show,”
Oh, whoa, whoa

“It’s like you set the whole room on fire”
“I can’t touch you ‘cause my hand will burn”

Mmm, whoa, whoa

“Yeah, you are such a smoke show”
