Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Dressed like that, you must be livin' in a different world
And your mother doesn't know why you cant look like all the other girls
Boys stop you in the street, they wanna know your name
To reach you on the phone 'cause they know your game
Always runnin' up the alley tryin' to get home
Or standin' on the corner, never alone
[Verse 2]
And I don't wanna get over you
It doesn't matter what you do
I just can't get over you, over you
[Verse 3]
You say the boys with the bikes and the leathers'd like to beat you to
Hell
And the girls where you work don't treat you too well
You think you're such a smart girl but you ain't so bad
Get what you want with looks like that
Always runnin' up the alley tryin' to get home
Or standin' on the corner, never alone
[Verse 4]
And I don't wanna get over you
It doesn't matter what you do
I just can't get over you, over you
[Verse 5]
Dressed like that, you must be livin' in a different world
(In a different world)
And your mother doesn't know why you cant look like all the other girls
(All the other girls)
Boys stop you in the street, they wanna know your name
To reach you on the phone 'cause they know your game
Always runnin' up the alley tryin' to get home
Or standin' on the corner, never alone
[Verse 6]
And I don't wanna get over you
It doesn't matter what you do
I just can't get over you, over you
[Verse 7]
And I don't wanna get over you
It doesn't matter what you do
I just can't get over you, over you
[Verse 8]
And I don't wanna get over you
It doesn't matter what you do
I just can't get over you, over you
[Verse 9]
And I don't wanna get over you
It doesn't matter what you do
