about
a girl named amerie- she's in trouble but she don't know it
lyrics
Jonny Burke (Dedpan Music, BMI)
amerie, she's always heading my way
driving in a porsche down the crooked highway
she picks me up, we head to the city
we walk around like we live on tv
splendid and spendin like there's no end
come on amerie
baby are you broke again?
amerie, she's 28 and great now
she's got her daddy's credit card and her momma's know how
she dates the rich boys, she reads the gossip column
ain't had a steady job since she' gotten outta college
trade a fortune for an arcade token
cryin on the corner tell me
baby are you broke again?
splendid's how we're livin here in my generation
spendin that money over all creation
credit, don't sweat it, we'll swipe it and go then
head to the club and we'll get us some more and
it's always gonna be this way
man you must be jokin
maybe come monday
baby are you broke again?
