Girls Like Me Lyrics by Mary Chapin Carpenter

Between Here and Gone

2004

[Verse]
Girls like me aren't hard to find
We grow like roses on the vine
We wear our hearts on our sleeves
You probably know a girl like me
We live alone and in our heads
We eat standing up or in our beds
Guilt and fear merge easily
In the quiet souls of girls like me
And loneliness is like a cold
Common and no cure we're told
We take to bed per chance to dream
In the blue light of the TV screen
Girls like me like summer light
And cold beer on a summer night
And boys who aren't afraid of what they see
Inside the eyes of girls like me
And hopefulness is like a drug
It makes a girl believe in love
And if somehow you love us back
We think there's something wrong with that
Girls like me aren't hard to trust
Your deepest secrets safe with us
And when it's time we set you free
You can always count on girls like me
[Outro]
It's good to know a girl like me
You used to love a girl like me
