Jersey Girl Video (MV)

Your daddy doesn't really like me much
Something bout I'm not Catholic enough
And I'm not Italian at all

I like the way you dance barefoot down the shore
It's a short drive from the city to yours
I like the rings you wear and the tattoo on your ribcage

Your daddy doesn't really like me much
I don't wear a cross necklace
And I don't get in fights or stay out past dawn

But I like when you laugh at a dirty joke
Your voice sounds like you used to smoke
I like the way you swim backstroke
I like the piercing in your nose

Make me jealous of your tan skin
The white sheets you're sleepin' in
Make me wish I had more money
Oh, Jersey Girl won't you love me

Take what's dark and make it gold
Curse at me in that raspy tone
Put red polish on ya toes
Ay Jersey Girl let me take you home

Went to a big southern school
Straight-A girl, nobody's fool
Nobody's girlfriend either
Too good to be true, you couldn't believe her

She plays pool and she plays chess
Plays with men's hearts within their chest
Never settles for second best
And with me tonight she's unimpressed

Wontcha terrify me
Say somethin' sassy
Yell at me in the back of a taxi
That would be just what I want
Oh Jersey Girl
The summer's so hot

Take what's dark and make it gold
Curse at me in that raspy tone
Put red polish on ya toes
Ay Jersey Girl let me take you home

Want her so bad
Sometimes
I need to remind myself
She'll never be mine
But that's alright that's okay
I wouldn't wanna live here anyway
But I still can't stay away
Oh Jersey Girl won't you slap my face

Make me jealous of your tan skin
The white sheets you're sleeping in
Make me wish I had more money
Jersey Girl won't you love me

Take what's dark and make it gold
Curse at me in that raspy tone
Put red polish on ya toes
Jersey Girl let me take you home
