That Don't Impress Me Much Lyrics

I've known a few guys
Who thought they were pretty smart
But you've got being right down to an art
You think you're a genius
You drive me up the wall
You're a regular original
A know-it-all

Oh-oo-oh, you think you're special
Oh-oo-oh, you think you're something else

Okay, so you're a rocket scientist
That don't impress me much
So you got the brains
But have you got the touch?
Now don't get me wrong
Yeah I think you're alright
But that won't keep me
Warm in the middle of the night
That don't impress me much

I never knew a guy
Who carried a mirror in his pocket
And a comb up his sleeve
Just in case
And all that extra hold gel
In your hair oughta lock it
Cos heaven forbid it should fall outta place

Oh-oo-oh, you think you're special
Oh-oo-oh, you think you're something else

Okay, so you're Brad Pitt
That don't impress me much
So you got the looks
But have you got the touch
Now don't get me wrong
Yeah I think you're alright
But that won't keep me
Warm in the middle of the night
That don't impress me much

You're one of those guys
Who likes to shine his machine
You make me take off my shoes
Before you let me get in
I can't believe you kiss your car good night
C'mon baby tell me
You must be jokin', right?

Oh-oo-oh, you think you're special
Oh-oo-oh, you think you're something else

Okay, so you've got a car
That don't impress me much
So you got the moves
But have you got the touch?
Now don't get me wrong
Yeah I think you're alright
But that won't keep me
Warm in the middle of the night

That don't impress me much
You think you're cool
But have you got the touch?
Now don't get me wrong
Yeah I think you're alright
But that won't keep me
Warm on those long, cold, lonely nights
That don't impress me much

Okay
So what do you think
You're Elvis or something?
Whatever
That don't impress me

It's a song about not buying into when a guy talks himself up and makes himself sound better then he is and brags about all of his materialism that somehow is supposed to be impressive. She would rather have a real life honest to goodness guy who knows how to truly love...

I agree with you, I love this song. People that think having material things impress others just annoy me so this is the perfect song for me :)

i love.. this song.. some people think they have the brains to get someone, like having a car, but in the end, it doesn't matter, because the other person wants love...

"You've got the moves, but have you got the touch?"

If I had to pick a particular line out of this song that concluded it appropriately, it would be this. Wealth and physical looks wear away after a while, so it's not worth your time if women felt they weren't getting genuine feelings out of a relationship.

"I never knew a guy who kept a mirror in his pocket."

What is off-putting about this is the fact that in order to get women to get attracted to him, he thinks more about himself. That is backwards logic, and just by reading some of the other lyrics, we can see it is perfectly clear that he is more interested in himself and things he owns. You'd think he'd pay more attention to you.

"So you've got a car/you're Brad Pitt/you're a rocket scientist."

Each of these lyrics are then followed by "That don't impress me much." The thinking here is perfect - just because you're a certain type of guy doesn't make you better than the rest.

In conclusion, it is both a sense of understanding the transparency of showing off to women and to being able to take into account that not every woman can be fooled by something cool and flashy, or if you're some kind of celebrity.

My Interpretation

I like the country version and the pop version. It got a little too overplayed though.
