A Girl Like You Lyrics by Edwyn Collins

Gorgeous George

1994

[Verse 1]
I've never known a girl like you before
Now, just like in a song from days of yore
Here you come a-knocking, knocking on my door
And I've never met a girl like you before
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 2]
You gave me just a taste so I want more
Now my hands are bleeding and my knees are raw
'Cause now you got me crawling, crawling on the floor
And I've never known a girl like you before
[Guitar Solo]
[Pre-Chorus]
You made me acknowledge the devil in me
I hope to God I'm talking metaphorically
Hope that I'm talking allegorically
Know that I'm talking by the way I feel
[Chorus]
And I've never known a girl like you before
Never, never, never, never
Never known a girl like you before
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
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've never met a girl like you before
[Outro]
(It's alright, yeah, it's alright, yeah, it's alright, yeah, it's alright
Yeah, it's alright, yeah, it's alright, yeah, it's alright, yeah, it's alright
Yeah, it's alright, yeah, it's alright, yeah, it's alright, yeah, it's alright
Yeah, it's alright, yeah, it's alright, yeah, it's alright, yeah, it's alright
Yeah, it's alright, yeah, it's alright, yeah, it's alright, yeah, it's alright
Yeah, it's alright, yeah, it's alright, yeah, it's alright, yeah, it's alright
Yeah, it's alright, yeah, it's alright, yeah, it's alright, yeah, it's alright)
