A Girl Like You Lyrics by Them

1964

Them
"A Girl Like You"
King Records
Cincinnati, Ohio
1964
[Verse: 1]
What's a girl, a girl like you
Doing in a place, a place like this
You know I want to take you away
And all I want is just, just one kiss
People say you're from wrong side of the railroad tracks
But with a love like ours
We can turn our backs
On the people, and the rules
'cause we know their nothing but a lot of fools
[Verse: 2]
All my friends, my friends tell me
That this will never, never work out
But it's plain that they just don't see
What love is all about
Maybe I don't know were I'm going
But I know were I've been
And I'm never, never, never going back again
The more they dislike you
The more I hate them more
'cause compared to them you're ten feet tall
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse: 3/Repeat Verse 1]
What's a girl, a girl like you
Doing in a place, a place like this
You know I want to take you away
And all I want is just, just one kiss
People say you're from wrong side of the railroad tracks
But with a love like ours
We can turn our backs
On the people, and the rules
'cause we know their nothing but a pack of fools
[Verse: 4/Repeat Verse 2]
All my friends, my friends tell me
That this will never, never work out
But it's plain that they just don't see
What love is all about
Maybe I don't know were I'm going
But I know were I've been
And I'm never, never, never going back again
The more they dislike you
The more I hate them more
'cause compared to them you're ten feet tall
What's a girl, a girl like you
Doing in a place, a place like this (x3)
