Edwyn Collins
A Girl Like You
[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 at my door
[Refrain]
And I've never met a girl like you before
[Verse 2]
You give 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
[Refrain]
And I've never met a girl like you before
[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 about the way I feel
[Chorus]
And I've never known a girl like you before
But you've never known a boy like me before
Never, never, never, never
Never known a girl like you before
[Verse 3]
This old town's changed so much
Don't feel like I belong
Too many protest singers
Not enough protest songs
And now you've come along
Yes, you've come along
[Refrain]
And I've never met a girl like you before
[Chorus]
And I've never known a girl like you before
But you've never known a boy like me before
