Don't like those baggy jeans, but I might like what's underneath them

Dressed in all your fancy clothes
Am7
Sneakers looking fresh to death, I'm loving those shell-toes

                                              E7+
Watch a flick at Hoyts and then hit up Intencity

Let's go on the subway, take me to your hood
                                                     E7+

E7+

Am7
But I'm stuck you see
                                         F7+
'Cause most of these girls don't fuck with me, but
E7+
I'ma tell you 'bout a little romance
C7+
Chillin' overseas up in Amsterdam
Am7
Sippin' on [?], spliff in hand
When this chick walks in and I'm just like, "Damn"
E7+
Who dat? How she look so good?
C7+
Wonder what she doin' in this neighbourhood
Am7
"Hey miss, come sit with me
                                  F7+
Maybe give me a piece of your history"
E7+
So she had a couple tokes and started relaxing
                 C7+
Now that's what I call a chain-smoke reaction
Am7
Said she like my accent
                                F7+    E7+
I like hers too so we quite the match then
                 C7+
So we get to chattin'
                        Am7
"What you do? Where ya been?
Where you're at?" and  we chat about love
                              F7+     E7+
She from Minneapolis so we chat about Slug
                                  C7+
And it seemed like we talked for days
                                          Am7
Till our time ran out and we had to part ways
American girl, it was nice to know ya
                       F7+       E7+
Minnesota [?] in the middle of Europa
                      C7+
Now she all up on my Facebook
                                      Am7
Askin' me if she could stay so I say, "Look
You're welcome anytime you wanna come kick it"
                                F7+ E7+
She on her way out for a visit, you dig?
