Skinny Jeans Songtext
von Andy Gullahorn

I want to be remembered by the work that I′ve done
Want my name to reside on the front of the mind
And the tip of the tongue
And I want the attention of the powers that be
Want them fighting with each other
Over who's gonna get to work with me
I want to leave the stage with them on their feet
At a sold out show
And I′d do just about anything to make it so


But I don't wanna wear those skinny jeans
So maybe there's no hope for me
I don′t wanna wear those skinny jeans
Maybe it′s just not meant to be
Still I want to be content with just doing my best
I wanna be taken seriously without having to shave my chest
And I wanna hang out with celebrities
Who are singing my songs
But apparently my strategy is failing me
And I think I know what's wrong

I don′t wanna wear those skinny jeans
So maybe there's no hope for me
I don′t wanna wear those skinny jeans
How can they even breathe?
I guess that's why they sing up here
You′re beautiful
Now a man of conviction, that's not who I am
I fold like origami every chance I get
But sooner or later everybody's got to draw the line
So man, hand me your eyeliner pencil
I′ll show you where I draw mine

I don′t wanna wear those skinny jeans
So maybe there's no hope for me
I don′t wanna wear those skinny jeans
Those women's jeans
Are not for me
