Sawyer Brown – Some Girls Do, is a song written by Mark Miller, and recorded by American country music band Sawyer Brown. It was released in March 1992 as the second (third if «The Walk» is counted) single from their album The Dirt Road. It was a number-one hit in the United States, while it peaked at number 2 in Canada.
American Aquarium covered the song on their 2021 album Slappers, Bangers, and Certified Twangers: Vol 1.
The narrator states that some girls don’t like boys like him, but «some girls do.». The song begins with a potential object of his affection turning up her nose at his Cadillac as a way of rebuffing his attentions. Another woman witnesses the exchange from her front porch as she’s painting her nails. She hints that it takes more than that to attract a woman, and they hook up with one another.

Sawyer Brown – Some Girls Do lyrics
[Verse 1]
She turned up her nose as she walked by my Cadillac
From the corner of my eye, I saw you and you laughed
You was sittin’ on the swing on your front porch
A-paintin’ your nails like you were bored
And you yelled, «She was sure impressed with you»
[Chorus]
Well, I ain’t first class, but I ain’t white trash
I’m wild and a little crazy too
Some girls don’t like boys like me
Aw, but some girls do
[Verse 2]
I yelled and asked if you would like a ride
When we pulled out of your yard, I bald a tire
You was laughin’ at me, I was doin’ James Dean
You was the purtiest girl I’ve ever seen
When you rolled your eyes and twirled my pink fur dice
[Chorus]
Well, I ain’t first class, but I ain’t white trash
I’m wild and a little crazy too
Some girls don’t like boys like me
Aw, but some girls do
[Bridge]
Well, good ol’ boys don’t get no breaks
And the rich boys think they got what it takes
But there’s someone for each of us, they say
[Chorus]
Well, I ain’t first class, but I ain’t white trash
I’m wild and a little crazy too
Some girls don’t like boys like me
Aw, but some girls do
Well, I ain’t first class, but I ain’t white trash
I’m wild and a little crazy too
Some girls don’t like boys like me
Aw, but some girls do
[Outro]
I said some girls do
You know some girls do
Like boys like me
You know some girls do
GENIUS
