Some Girls Do
Sawyer Brown Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

She turned up her nose as she walked by my Cadillac
From the corner of my eye I saw you and you laughed
You were sittin' on the swing on your front porch
Paintn' your nails like you were bored
And you yelled she was sure impressed with you

Well I ain't first class, but I ain't white trash
I'm wild and a little crazy too
Some girls don't like boys like me
Aw but some girls do

I yelled and asked if you would like a ride
When we pulled out of your yard I bald a tire
You was laughing at me, I was doing James Dean
You was the prettiest girl I'd ever seen
When you rolled your eyes and twirled my pink fur dice

Well I ain't first class, but I ain't white trash
I'm wild and a little crazy too
Some girls don't like boys like me
Aw but some girls do

Well good ole' boys don't get no breaks
And rich boys think they got what it takes
But there's' someone for each of us they say

Well I ain't first class, but I ain't white trash
I'm wild and a little crazy too
Some girls don't like boys like me
Aw but some girls do

Well I ain't first class, but I ain't white trash
I'm wild and a little crazy too
Some girls don't like boys like me
Aw but some girls do

I said some girls do
You know some girls do




Like boys like me
You know some girls do

Overall Meaning

The song "Some Girls Do" by Sawyer Brown is a story about a guy who is not rich or classy, but he is confident and wild-spirited. The singer in this story sees a beautiful girl walking by his Cadillac and laughs at him, but he doesn't care. He then sees the same girl sitting on her front porch, painting her nails, and bored. He approaches her, and she seems unimpressed, which only fuels his desire to make an impression on her. He offers her a ride, and they leave her yard, but he bounces over a speed bump, and his tire blows out. She laughs, and he tries to play it cool like James Dean, with the girl appearing even more beautiful than before.


The chorus is all about how he is not a first-class man or a white trash, but instead, he's wild and crazy too. And some girls don't like boys like him, but some girls do. The singer is confident, and he doesn't care about what other people think. He might not have much, but he knows he's a catch.


The song's theme is all about appreciating people for who they are, regardless of their social status. And sometimes, the crush or infatuation someone might have on you, might not seem like a good match or suitable candidate by people's standards, but that doesn't mean it won't develop into something real and loving.
