lyrics

Walk in the room lookin’ like James Dean
Lovin’ me like it’s 1960
A style icon trapped in a box
You love what I wear
So I take it off
I like you more than my favorite sweater
Even though my daddy says, “baby girl you could do better”
Get my leather jacket on and
We look like a pair
Got your favorite perfume on
And smoke in my hair

Bad boys do it right
Get a classy little lady to have at their side

He loves me like it’s 1960
Picks me up
In a corvette
He loves me like it’s 1960
Leavin’ notes in my bed
Yes, he love’s me
Like it’s 1960

Like we’re living in polaroid film
Posing like there’s no camera’s in the room
In the local coffee shop I teach you how to dance
Skinny dipping at the beach and holding hands in the sand
Wearing polka dots
You carry me to the docks
Dip our toes in the water when it gets too hot
Makin’ me nostalgic
Smudging up my lipstick
Why do drugs when you’re my quick fix?

An unwritten story that walked my way
Said, “blondie with no make-up on come out to play”
It’s a hot day can you quench my thirst
Hold my guard up until you say the word
You know I got my ripped jeans got my man
Finally found a guy I wanted to land
Sipping Coca-Cola in our favorite diner
Change the juke before the timer

What do you say about bad boys?
Taking me for a joy ride?
