John Mellencamp - Miami lyrics

Written by John Mellencamp

Well I hear in Miami they have a lot of girls

Who toast their flesh in the sun

Living on allowances they receive from the old man at home

To keep up appearances to have fun

CHORUS:

Hey baby

Living in Miami

I know you're hip to those hotel alibis

I know you're nowhere near twenty

But I ain't the kind to kiss and tell or tell lies

Well they are easy to look at, they are hard to hold

They have high opinions of themselves

But at night you can find them drinking in the bar

Wishing that they could find somebody else

CHORUS

Well they pull and tug on their high fashion clothes

They feel restless in the dark

As they strip off their armor in their apartment bedrooms

They wish that somewhere they can find a spark

Well their sights and visions and dreams are set high

They think the world can be won with a smile

I hear 'em giggle out loud, lost in the crowd

Give me a cuddle when we get outside

CHORUS

Hey baby

Living in Miami

I know you're hip to those hotel alibis

I know you're nowhere near twenty

But I ain't the kind to kiss and tell or tell lies
