A Girl Like You - Smithereens, Pat, DiNizio

I used to travel in the shadows

And I never found the nerve to try and walk up to you

But now I am a man and I know that there’s no time to waste

There’s too much to lose

Girl you say anything at all, and you know that you can call

And I’ll be right there for you

First love, heartbreak, tough luck, big mistake

What else can you do

I’ll say anything you want to hear

I’ll see everything through

I’ll do anything I have to do

Just to win the love of a girl like you, a girl like you

People talk and people stare, tell them I don’t really care

This is the place I should be

And if they think it’s really straange for a girl like you

To be in love with someone like me

I wanna tell them all to go to hell

That we’re doing very well without them you see

That’s just the way it is and they will see

I am yours and you are mine the way it should be

Now if I seem a little wild, there’s no holding back

I’m trying to get a message to you

I won’t take anything from anyone

I won’t walk and I won’t run, I believe in you

London, Washington, anywhere you are I’ll run

Together we’ll be

Inside, outside, got my pride

I won’t let him take you from me
