Oh GIrl
Con Hunley Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't know where to look for love
I just don't know how
Oh girl, how I depend on you
To give me love when I need
Right on time you'll always be
They say, let the woman take care of you
So I try to be anything like the crowd
But even the crowd can't help me now
Oh girl, tell me, what am I gonna do
I know I got a guilty face
Girl I feel so out of place, oh girl
All my friends call me a fool
They say, let the woman take care of you
So I try to be anything like the crowd
But even the crowd can't help me now
Oh girl, I guess, I better go
I can save myself a lot of useless tears
Girl, I gotta get away from here
Oh girl, I know, I've got a guilty face
Girl, I feel so out of place
Oh girl, I don't know where to look for love
And I don't, I don't know how
Oh girl, I know, I've got a guilty face
Girl, I feel so out of place
