A Girl Like You
Joe Cocker Lyrics

Uh
Be aware and cautious of the choices you make regarding women.

Mmm yeah
It is tough to find the right kind of girl these days.

Uh
Be vigilant of the women in your life.

Uh
Be cautious and deliberate when you choose a girl.

Uh, ooh oow
The song is about finding a girl that fits a specific set of criteria.

Yo, the game is dirty watch how you playin' it
The dating game can be tricky and dangerous.

It's your bed watch who you let lay in it
Be cautious of who you allow into your personal space.

It's your crib watch who you let stay in it
Be careful about who you welcome into your life.

Cause when you think they want they just might
People may have ulterior motives for wanting to be with you.

And it's hard to tell
It can be tough to figure out what someone's true intentions are.

Conversate talk to them slow
