These Kind Of Girls Can

(album: Where The Tree Tops Glisten - 2020)

The boys and the girls run and hold hands
Making it easy as new lovers can

And you long for your own
There's a girl, take a chance
But they say that you won't
But somehow you think that you can

Generous heartache slips out again
I saw it on TV and kissed your hand

And you toss and you turn
While the church bells ring
And you know it'll hurt
But somehow you're ready to bleed

It's the first time you saw her, now you know nothing else
The worst part about her is now nothing can help
And no one should ever get away with all this
But somehow, somehow, somehow these kind of girls can

Ladies and gentlemen laugh and they dance
Ordering drinks, still sophisticated

And you long to be grown
But the youth never last
At least they say that it won't (say that it won't)
But somehow you think that it can

It's the first time you saw her, now you know nothing else
The worst part about her is now nothing can help
And no one should ever get away with all this
But somehow, somehow, somehow these kind of girls can

Oh, they can
