That Don’t Impress Me Much - triple j Like A Version Lyrics
[Verse 1 - Danielle]
I've known a few guys who thought they were pretty smart
But you've got being right down to an art
You think you're a genius, you drive me up the wall
You're a regular original know-it-all
[Pre-Chorus - Danielle]
Oh-oo-oh, you think you're special
Oh-oo-oh, you think you're something else
[Chorus - Este]
Okay, so you're a rocket scientist
That don't impress me much
So you got the brains, but have you got the touch?
Now, don't get me wrong, yeah, I think you're alright
But that won't keep me warm in the middle of the night
That don't impress me much
[Verse 2 - Danielle]
I never knew a guy who carried a mirror in his pocket
And a comb up his sleeve, just in case
And all that extra hold gel in your hair oughta lock it
’Cause heaven forbid it should fall outta place
[Pre-Chorus - Danielle]
Oh-oo-oh, you think you're special
Oh-oo-oh, you think you're something else
[Chorus - Este (Danielle)]
Okay, so you're Brad Pitt
That don't impress me much
(Ah ah oh)
So you got the looks, but have you got the touch?
Now, don't get me wrong, yeah, I think you're alright
But that won't keep me warm in the middle of the night
That don't impress me much
[Instrumental & Guitar Solo (Danielle)]
[Verse 3 - Danielle]
You're one of those guys who likes to shine his machine
Make me take off my shoes before you let me get in
I can't believe you kiss your car good night
Now come on, baby, tell me, you must be joking, right?
[Pre-Chorus - Danielle]
Oh-oo-oh, you think you're special
Oh-oo-oh, you think you're something else
[Chorus - Este (Danielle)]
Okay, so you've got a car
That don't impress me much
(Ah ah oh)
So you got the moves, but have you got the touch?
Now, now, don't get me wrong, yeah, I think you're alright
But that won't keep me warm on those long, cold and lonely nights
That don't impress me much
[Outro - Danielle, Este]
That don't impress me much
That don't impress me much
That don't impress me much
That don't impress me much
That don't impress me much
Oh no
