Lyrics Edwyn Collins

Edwyn Collins

A Girl Like You

I've never known a girl like you before

Now just like in a song from days of yore

Here you come a-knockin', knockin' 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've got me

Crawlin' crawlin' on the floor

And I've never known a girl like you before

You've made me acknowledge the devil in me

I hope to God I'm talkin' metaphorically

I hope that I'm talkin' allegorically

Know that I'm talkin' about 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 never met a girl like you before

Yeah, it's all right

Yeah, it's all right
