John Mellencamp Miami song lyrics

Well I hear in Miami they have a lot of girls

Who toast their flesh in the sun

Livin' on allowances they receive from the old man at home

To keep up appearances to have fun

Ooh baby

Livin' 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

They are easy to look at, hard to hold

They have high opinions of themselves

But at night you can find them drinkin' in the bar

Wishin' that they could find somebody else

Ooh baby

Livin' 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 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 could 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

Ooh baby

Livin' in Miami

I know you're hip to those hotel alibis

I know you're nowhere near twenty

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