Lyrics[]
I couldn't hide my smile from you
As I stopped to breathe the exhaust from the tailpipe
Wearing nothing but my cut-off blues
And gold bikini, chain in the moonlight
You're a nice man and I am a na-na-na-nasty girl
You're a nice man and I am a na-na-na-nasty girl
I couldn't hide my smile from you
As I watched you struggle out from under
Little hands are covering up your eyes
You tried to drive, but I kicked the steering wheel with my little feet
You're a nice man and I am a na-na-na-nasty girl
Yeah, you're a nice man and I am a na-na-na-nasty girl
Spin me 'round, kiss me in your Chevrolet
I can help us make a clean getaway
Pretty girls can hoist a bank robbery
'Cause I know I got Jesus watching over me
I love you more than I have ever loved anyone
You know I want to show you that life can be so much fucking fun
When you're mine
When you're mine
When you're mine
When you're mine
I couldn't hide my smile from you
As I watched us sway in between lanes
You know there's no better sight than a nosedive in the ocean
Triple drains
You're a nice man and I am a na-na-na-nasty girl
You're a nice man and I am a na-na-na-nasty girl
