That Don't Impress Me Much
Shania Twain · 1998
🎤 Sing along
Sing with the chorus
- (Han han, uh-uh)
- 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 ought a lock it
Echo the hook
- (Han han, uh-uh) uh-huh, yeah, yeah
- (Han han, uh-uh) uh-huh
- I've known a few guys who thought they were pretty smart
- But you've got being right down to an art
