A Girl Like You
Adam Faith Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With just a flick of her little fingertip
A boy would flip
There's nothing that he wouldn't do, for you
Ooh, a girl like you, who's such a cutie
Eyes of baby blue, a living beauty
Could have most anything
A girl like you, who could have had
Yhe yellow moon above
Just for the asking, didn't even ask
You didn't ask a thing, but love
That's all I had, a heart to hand you
And a heart that's glad to understand you
I can't believe it's true
A boy like me could ever have a girl like you, like you
A girl like you, who could have had
The yellow moon above
Just for the asking, didn't even ask
You didn't ask a thing, but love
That's all I had, a heart to hand you
And a heart that's glad to understand you
I can't believe it's true
A boy like me could ever have a girl like you, like you
Like you!
