A Woman Like You
Ballard Russ Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No it can't wait babe, we got to talk it out now
Your so called friends, they're trying to break us up
They say that I'm cheating on you, that I can't allow
It won't take a minute to talk it out, I'll make you believe me somehow
[Chorus]
There ain't a woman like you in the world baby
There ain't a woman in the world, can start such a fire the way that you do
There ain't a woman like you, there ain't a woman like you, no
There ain't a woman like you, there ain't a woman like you
No use pretending to you, you know I've been around
Won't be no more lying lady, all that's in the past
You ain't the first girl I really loved, but you'll be the last
[Chorus]
There ain't a woman like you in the world baby
Can do what you do, thrill me like you do
There ain't a woman in the world, can start such a fire the way that you do
There ain't a woman like you, no
There ain't a woman like you, no, no
There ain't a woman like you, no
The song 'A Woman Like You' by Ballard Russ is a heartfelt plea from a man to his lover. He wants to sort out a misunderstanding between them that has been created by their friends. The man wants to assure his love that he has not cheated on her and he wants to clear things out. He addresses his lover by saying that there is no one in the world like her. The man tells her that she is unique and special, like no other woman, and she can do things that no other woman can. He expresses his love and admiration for her by saying that she can thrill him like no other woman and she can start a fire in his heart that no other woman can.
The chorus of the song repeats the lines "There ain't a woman like you in the world baby, can do what you do, thrill me like you do" to emphasize the uniqueness and value of the woman to the man. He acknowledges that he has been with other women before but he tells her that she will be the last woman he ever loves. The lyrics are honest and romantic, displaying the man's admiration and respect for his lover.

That’s usually how it goes. Everything has a price. Most famous musicians are fucking garbage level of writing. It balances out. Look at Zappa. Look at Jeff Beck. List of underrated geniuses goes on. I like it this way. Balance is key.

russ is the most underrated artist of the past 50 years. i dont have any problem saying this. he has so many songs and they are mostly great. he is even more underrated than gary numan. they are both known for a couple songs , but have at least 30 other songs that are simply amazing
