JERRY BROWNING  

EMOTIONOGRAPHY   

 

Pretentious
 

she smokes ‘cause it makes her feel chic
she jokes to disguise what she means
she has a pretty painted face
and skin-tight pants
all the men stop and stare
when she gets out to dance

CHORUS
she’s so pretentious
everybody knows her kind
she’s so pretentious
just messing with our minds
she’s as pretentious as can be
but man that girl does a number on me

she drives a big black Mercedes-Benz
she thrives on having lots of famous friends
she buys dresses from Paris
and boots made in Spain
gotta a rich sugar daddy
who keeps her in cocaine

CHORUS

she broke and came knocking at my door
we stroked ‘til a quarter past four
i saw her the next evening
she smiled at me and winked
jumped in a new Corvette
motored down the street

CHORUS

Norfolk, Virginia ‘89
