Some Kinda Girl - Final Lyrics
Med. Fast Bossa Nova/Samba
Intro
What kind of girl
Can be shy and so sassy
Some kinda girl
Who makes jeans look so classy
But deep down inside
Is the woman I can be
Sharing a ride
For the whole world to see

I'm not some kinda girl
Who will just walk away
I'm just your kinda girl
Don't let me get away

Lets take a walk us two
Beneath a sky so blue
I'll tell you all my schemes
You tell me all your dreams
(Harmony) Oh honey I'd die for you
Oh honey I'd cry for you
Can't you see?
That you're the right one for me

Are you the kinda guy
Who will just walk away
Are you my kinda guy
The kind who'll never strays

Are you the perfect guy
I really hope you'll be
Can you walk this path
Knowing I'll be me

Oh honey I'd die for you
Oh honey I'd cry for you
Can't you see?
That you're the right one for me

Instrumental Solo - 8 bars

Bridge:
Cause we're the perfect pair
And our love's so pure
Let's lift our souls to the sky
Where bluebirds fly

Instrumental solo
I'm not some kinda girl
Who will just walk away
I'm just your kinda girl
Don't let me get away

Let's take a walk tonite
And share the soft moonlite
I'll tell you all my schemes
You tell me all your dreams

Oh honey I'd die for you
Oh honey I'd cry for you
Can't you see
That you're the right one for me

Right one for me
You're just right for me
(etc. ad lib)

Nice piano intro, lovely voice, nice rhythms, sax, good arrangement
