Downtown Girl
Hot Chelle Rae Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh oh oh
She's a weekend beauty queen of the black like clubs wearing out the scene
You know her type, out all night
Starry eyed for the dirty dream always looking for the prince
Where the cash is king
On the boulevard in a big black car
I smell her sweet perfume making rounds around the room
'Cause she is a downtown girl, a downtown girl
Her lips are red, and those hips are turning heads
'Cause she's a downtown girl, a downtown girl
A downtown downtown girl, girl
A downtown downtown girl, oh
Living like a celebrity all the guys lined up and the drinks are free
She's knows she's hot but that's all she got
Everybody knows she's on the move with her six inch heels and an attitude
To seal the deal she shots to kill
But I'm not going down
I smell her sweet perfume making rounds around the room
'Cause she is a downtown girl, a downtown girl
Her lips are red, and those hips are turning heads
'Cause she's a downtown girl, a downtown girl
A downtown downtown girl, girl
A downtown downtown girl, oh
Likes the attention
Gets the attention
Her name is on the bathroom wall (Her name is on the bathroom wall)
The party never over she's always coming over even when the music stops
I smell her sweet perfume making rounds around the room
'Cause she is a downtown girl, a downtown girl
Her lips are red, and those hips are turning heads
Cause she's a downtown girl, a downtown girl
A downtown downtown girl, girl
A downtown downtown girl, oh
All the boys staring at the girls
Staring at the boys
Staring at the downtown girls, the downtown girls
Her lips are red, and those hips are turning heads
'Cause she's a downtown girl a downtown girl
A downtown downtown girl, girl
A downtown downtown girl, girl
A downtown downtown girl, girl
A downtown downtown girl, girl, oh
A downtown downtown girl, girl
A downtown downtown girl, girl
