Lyrics
GIRL LIKE THAT
Patterson, & Parvin
Copyright 2006
Girl like that, got to keep an eye on
Just about all the time
Tough child, beauty on a back street
Scat singin' outside the factory
Told me she's gonna be discovered
And leave the inner city behind
Beguiled I'm standing on the sidewalk
Big man tryin' to make small talk
Told me she's wilder than the others
And I'd better give her some time
I told her
CHORUS:
Hey don't, don't take too long now
It just might, might just go wrong
Now a girl like that, you got to keep an eye on
Just about all the time
For two years she's been riding shotgun
Thought we might make it in the long run
But when I turn my back on my baby
She goes right out of control
It's bad enough the money's all gone now
She's got us in and out of the law now
That girl is drivin' me crazy
So when she gets ready to roll
I tell her
(CHORUS)
(REPEAT)
Girl like that you got to keep an eye on
Girl like that you just can't rely on
Girl like that you got to keep an eye on
Just about all the time
(REPEAT)
(FADE)
