My Kind Of Girl

(album: Extremes - 1994)

When I saw you buying Cosmo and a hot rod magazine,
I said to myself 'Now there's a girl for me.'
And when I asked you to go for a ride,
you stole my heart when you said, "If I can drive."
I said, "How 'bout some music?"
you said, "You got any Merle?"
That's when I knew you were my kind of girl.

and when we started talking i could not believe my ears
you said you were a Braves fan even through the rotten years
you quoted William Parker and Martin Luther King
you said your favorite movie star would always be James Dean
and when we went to dinner you wore blue jeans with your pearls
that's when i knew you were my kind of girl

You march to the beat of a different drum,
the funny thing is that I hear the same one.
We both like to color outside of the lines.
We're peas in a pod, girl we're two of a kind.

You march to the beat of a different drum,

We both like to color outside of the lines.
We're peas in a pod, girl we're two of a kind.

I said, "I think I love you,"
you said, "What's not to love?"
I thought about a kiss, but I wasn't quick enough.
I guess while I was thinking you were reading my mind,
'cause you wrapped your arms around me
and you pressed your lips to mine.
You set my head spinning just like a tilt-a-whirl,
that's when I knew you were my kind of girl.

You set my head a-spinning just like a tilt-a-whirl,
that's when I knew you were my kind of girl.
