I like songs that tell stories, so this tells the true story of an afternoon recently where I was trying to get the attention of a hottie on the patio of a restaurant in Richmond’s Carytown district.
Hottie
lyrics by Shelton Bumgarner
@bumgarls
please give credit if you produce or perform
sun beating down
sunlight all around
drinking my beer
on the patio
what should I see
but you looking at me
sunglasses on
it didn’t take long
before I knew we were singing
singing the same song
don’t get me wrong
you might have been out my league
but you’re a hottie
let me declare
when will I learn
hotties come and go
it’s all just a scam
hottie, hottie, hottie
you looked at me
I looked at you
but what could I do
your friend was in the way
you were too far away
heard you say something stray
about a boyfriend I’m afraid
when will I learn
hotties come and go
it’s all just a scam
hottie, hottie, hottie
[bridge]
in my mind we spend the day
drinking, making friends
you came home with me
a new relationship did begin
in the end
I paid my tab
walked on by
you paused expecting a greeting
but the moment was fleeting
walked off into the heat
having never met the
hottie
hottie
hottie
hottie
