let's learn from lyrics!

want to know what girls look for in a guy? shania twain has a few tips. (courtesy of That Don't Impress Me Much by Shania Twain).



let's look at verse 1 first shall we?

I've known a few guys who thought they were pretty smart
But you've got bein' 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
Uh huh, yeah-yeah

Lesson 1: girls dont need guys to be extra-smart. smart is a necessity. you dont want to go out with someone whos's as dumb as patrick star do ya? but not too smart, like correcting your grammar or your sentence when you speak, or provide unnecessary explanation on everything you pass by when you're walking together. it's like dating your teacher. eww.

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
'Cause 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

Lesson 2: a guy who worries too much on his look annoys the girl. just who on earth would want a guy who have the same amount of toiletries as a girl? you are crowding the bathroom! let girl have the extra space, not you! "you, you, rambut i ok tak?" *im gonna run you over on 160km/h*. if a girl loves you, you mean the world to her, despite how you look, she'll think you're perfect just the way you are.


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
Come on baby tell me, you must be jokin', right?

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

Lesson 3: ok this one really bugs me off. material obsessive. its like putting your girl no.2 in your list. that's offensive. come on, man. materials dont last forever, love does. plus, this totally proves you care too much on people's attention. bluerggh. another turn off. an attention seeker. immature.

Lesson 4: i know they always say 'be yourself'. but come to think of it, that phrases only applicable on certain situation. you still need to keep your manners.


ok there you have it. im not the world best advice giver but i found my girlfriends nodding to this song everytime they heard it. maybe there's some truth in it. ok toodles. thanks for reading my shit. haha.

here's the song : That Don't Impress Me Much
