People think that I'm high class
But I'm low down all the while
People think that I'm crazy
When I flash that California smile

But I can still paint the town
All the colours of your evening gown
While I'm waiting for your blonde hair
To turn grey

People say you're a drinker
But I get sober half the time - mm-mm
People say you're a loser
But I get lucky on the side - yes you do

But I can still paint the town
All the colours of your evening gown
While I'm waiting for your blonde hair
To turn grey

All my life I waited for
Someone who would show me where the bliss is
All my life I've waited for
Someone who would take me past the kissing

People say I'm a loner - mm-mm
I like to get lost in the crowd - don't we all?
Whoa, people say I'm a dresser - pretty sharp
I wear my sports clothes way out loud - way out loud

Yeah I can still, well I can still, pain the town - town
And I can shake it, shake it, I turn it upside down
While I'm waiting, waiting, for your blonde hair - for your blonde hair
To turn grey

Well I keep waiting, waiting, for your blonde hair
To turn grey
I'll keep waiting, waiting, for your blonde hair
To turn grey

It will turn grey, baby
Mm, that's right
