Pretty self explanatory, if u ain't from Whittier u ain't shit Dedicated tu my mijo Gilberto san

lyrics

(Verse 1)
She said to play something smooth
You got nothing to lose except all your and teeth and friends,
Or anyone
Who'd love to love you like I do
But it sucks to say that
darling Loving me
Would never keep you satisfied
So let's not pretend that
Your sunken eyes
Have never kept me hypnotized
Every night

(Chorus)
If you had nothing good to say I would of walked away,
But you chase your beer with beer every Saturday,
Oh I outta get myself an Uptown Babe,

(Verse 2)
Oh I dig the stench of cigarette that's vibing off your hair,
Do you remember when you said,
A broken heart could never ever be repaired,
Well I don't care,
So Don't worry about the issues that are keeping me distressed,
Rather be considered blessed,
To see you undress,
Oh the Sunday after next,
When I confess

(Chorus)
If you had nothing good to say I would of walked away,
Now we'll chase our beer with beer every Saturday,
Oh you outta get yourself an Uptown Babe,

(Bridge)
So don't bother making rent,
Tell the landlord to get bent,
Just don't call my ex a whore,
That'd only make me love her more,
So you you've been warned
I got a love for this town that keeps the demons at bay,

(Outro)
So you outta stay away from my uptown
I mean you outta stay away from my uptown
But you outta get yourself an Uptown Babe
