Well I was raised in a sophisticated kind of style But my taste in music and women drove my folks half wild Mom and Dad had a plan for me, it was debutantes and symphonies But I like my music hot and my women wild You see I like my women just a tad on the trashy side When they wear their clothes too tight and their hair is dyed Too much lipstick and too much rouge Gets me excited, leaves me feeling confused I like my women just a tad on the trashy side Well you should have seen the look on the face of my Dad and Mom When I showed up at the door with my date for the senior prom They said, "Pardon us son, she ain't no kid, That's a cocktail waitress in a Dolly Parton wig" I said, "I know, ain't she great, Dad? That's the kind I dig." See I like my women just a tad on the trashy side When they wear their clothes too tight and their hair is dyed Too much lipstick and too much rouge Gets me excited, leaves me feeling confused I like my women just a tad on the trashy side. Yea, I like 'em sweet. I like 'em with a heart of gold But I like 'em brassy. I like 'em brazen and bold. They say opposites attract, well I don't agree I need a woman that's as tacky as me I like my women just a tad on the trashy side When they wear their clothes too tight and their hair is dyed Too much lipstick and too much rouge Gets me excited, leaves me feeling confused I like my women just a tad on the trashy side Yeah, I like my women just a tad on the trashy side.
