If You Were A Jersey Girl - (which you were not)

Based on the line “In Poems about Jersey Girls They Knew In Another Life” by Brian Fallon from the song Lonely For You Only

If You Were A Jersey Girl - (which you were not)

 

You’d’ve been loud and laughed fully

Your hair would’ve become streaked with blonde from the summer sun

You’d still said “going down the shore” though you knew it is grammatically incorrect

You’d’ve spent nights under the neon lights of the boardwalk and thought there was nothing better

 

If you were a Jersey Girl - (which you were not)

 

You’d’ve used curse words tastefully and thoroughly

You’d’ve known not all bagels or pizzas are created equal

You’d’ve told people where you lived by your Turnpike Exit number

You’d’ve watched meteor showers glow bright overhead at Princeton Battlefield

 

If you were a Jersey Girl - (which you were not)

 

You’d’ve understood it was The Boss over Bon Jovi, but Sinatra was the (chair)man

When your song came on everyone had better have been dancing with you

You wouldn’t’ve taken any s**t from anybody- especially a “dumb boy”

Life would’ve revolved around you

 

If you were a Jersey Girl - (which you were not)

 

You would have meet me

You would have made me fall in love with you

You would have falling in love with me

You would have been mine forever

 

If you were a Jersey Girl.
