[Verse 1]
Hey, baby, if you're feeling down
I know what's good for you all day
Are you worried what your friends see
Will it ruin your reputation loving me

[Chorus]
'Cause I'm a dirty white boy
Yeah, a dirty white boy
A dirty white boy

[Verse 2]
Don't drive no big black car
Don't like no Hollywood movie star
You want me to be true to you
You don't give a damn what I do to you

[Chorus][x2]
I'm just a dirty white boy
Dirty white boy, dirty white boy
Dirty white boy, dirty white boy
Dirty white boy

[Verse 3]
I've been in trouble since I don't know when
I'm in trouble now and I know somehow I'll find trouble again
I'm a loner, but I'm never alone
Every night I get one step closer to the danger zone

[Chorus][x3]
Because I'm a dirty white boy
Dirty white boy, yeah, dirty white boy
Dirty white boy, I'm a dirty white boy
Dirty white boy

[Outro]
Yeah!

Foreigner

The name of the band Foreigner was chosen because half of the original members were from England, and the other half from the U.S. The group had quite a few people join and leave, but one of the originals, Mick Jones, (not Mick Jagger) stayed the whole time. Foreigner celebrated their 40th anniversary in 2017, with Mick still there.
