Smithereens A Girl Like You
I used to travel in the shadows
and I never found the nerve
to try and walk up to you
But now I am a man
and I know that there's
no time to waste
there's too much to lose
Girl you say anything at all
and you know that you can call
and I'll be right there for you
First love, heartbreak
tough luck, big mistake
What else can you do?
(chorus)
I'll say anything you want to hear
I'll see everything through
I'll do anything I have to do
Just to win the love
of a girl like you
a girl like you
People talk and people stare
tell them I don't really care
This is the place I should be
And if they think it's really straange
for a girl like you
to be in love with someone like me
I wanna tell them all to go to hell
that we're doing very well
without them you see
That's just the way it is
and they will see
I am yours and you are mine
the way it should be
(chorus)
Now if I seem a little wild
there's no holding back
I'm trying to get a message to you
I won't take anything from anyone
I won't walk and I won't run
I believe in you
London, Washington
anywhere you are I'll run
together we'll be
Inside, outside, got my pride
I won't let him take you from me
(chorus)
A girl like you, oh yeah
I'll say anything
(I'll say anything)
I'll take anything
(I'll take anything)
I'll say anything
almost anything, except goodbye
Oh yeah
(repeat to fade)
