Lyrics
All dressed up with nowhere to go
That's the story of the girl you know, me
I'm all smiles but inside I frown 'cause
I seen you walkin' around with Betty Lou
Didn't I tell you what I heard about her?
It don't matter to you, it don't matter to you
It don't matter to you what those other girls do
You'll date anyone, you'll date anyone
How are they more fun than me, baby?
I'm smilin', the New Jersey queen, and
You're the best thing I ever seen
So won't you pull up your white Corvette?
Jimmy, let me get a better look at your face
I know it ain’t doin’, but I know what you like
So come on inside and I’ll fix you ice cream
A little banana split for you, Jimmy, ooh
You’re so fine, you’re like silk la roux
Guess that’s why you keep slipping through my fingers, ooh
You’re the state’s number one, everybody knows it
You smile all the time, ‘cause how can you not show it
When even you know that you’re so to die for?
To die for, what do I need to get high for
When I have you, when I have you?
It don't matter to you, it don't matter to you
It don't matter to you what those other girls done
I’m gonna prove to you, I’m gonna prove to you
You’ll never find nobody more fun
Da, da, da, da, da, da, da
Oh, more fun
