A Girl Like You

(album: Doin' My Time - 2011)

Well I see you talking to your girlfriends
With your blond hair blowing in the wind
Everybody here sees your heart's broke down
'Cause the last guy did you in
I see the way that you're looking at me
With your blue eyes I think here's a chance
If you're still here at the end of the night
I might ask for a dance

I've cried myself to sleep, been told, "Boy you ain't no good"
I've never been a cheating kind but there's been times I could
And I've had the love of my life run off with my best friend
But the only thing that keeps me holding on is a girl like you in the end

I've never been the one to two step darling
But this is my foot in
I could tell you all about her
And how it all came to an end
You try to hide your wounded pride
And cover up all your scars
You keep blaming yourself for his mistakes
And the reasons it all fell apart

I've cried myself to sleep, been told, "Boy you ain't no good"
I've never been a cheating kind but there's been times I could
And I've had the love of my life run off with my best friend
But the only thing that keeps me holding on is a girl like you in the end

And jealousy can make people do some things that we don't understand
But before you start to break down let me take your hand

I've cried myself to sleep, been told, "Boy you ain't no good"
I've never been a cheating kind but there's been times I could
And I've had the love of my life run off with my best friend
But the only thing that keeps me holding on is a girl like you in the end

My heart beat a little bit faster, girl, when you walked in
But the only thing that keeps me holding on is a girl like you in the end
Yeah the only thing that keeps me holding on is a girl like you in the end
