a girl like you

Singer: edwyn collins

i've never known a girl like you before

now

just like in a song from days of yore

here you come a-knocking

knocking on my door

and i've never met a girl like you before

you give me just a taste so i want more

now my hands are bleeding and my knees are raw

'cause now you got me crawling

crawling on the floor

and i've never known a girl like you before

you made me acknowledge the devil in me

i hope to god i'm talking metaphorically

hope that i'm talking allegorically

know that i'm talking 'bout the way i feel

and i've never known a girl like you before

never

never

never

never

never known a girl like you before

this old town's changed so much

don't feel that i belong

too many protest singers

not enough protest songs

and now you've come along

yes

you've come along

and i've never met a girl like you before
