Looking For A Girl

I been looking for a girl who drinks and smokes

Who takes a lot of work and can take a joke

Where does this girl of mine hide herself away

Whoever she is I hope she's on her way

I been looking for a girl

I been looking for a girl

I been looking for a girl who knows how to love me

I been looking for a girl who is good in bed

But knows when it's time to knock it on the head

I guess it's good loving that I want the most

Someone who turns my bread into buttered toast

I been looking for a girl

I been looking for a girl

I been looking for a girl who knows how to love me

I been looking for a girl who won't scream and shout

When I disappear for weeks like a roustabout

This kind of good loving is hard to find

The perfect combination of the cruel and kind

I been looking for a girl

I been looking for a girl

I been looking for a girl who knows how to love me

I see those couples go streaming by

Looking so easy like they don't even try

It's like a magic trick, sleight of hand

Sawn in half by a golden band

I been looking for a girl easy on the eye

But not so fucking stupid that I want to cry

I know God doesn't give with both his hands

So I guess I just need someone I can stand

I been looking for a girl

I been looking for a girl

I been looking for a girl who knows how to love me

I been looking for a girl who knows how to love me

I been looking for a girl who knows how to love me
