Lyrics Miami - John Mellencamp

Miami

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
Hey baby
Living in Miami
I know you’re hip to those hotel alibies
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
Well they pull and tug on their high fashion clothes
As they strip off their armour 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
Hey baby
Living in Miami
I know you’re hip to those hotel alibies
I know you’re nowhere near twenty
But I ain’t the kind to kiss and tell or tell lies
