A Girl Like That
Nelson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When she smiles at him that way.
But if she knew what he's been up to I wonder what she'd say
And it really makes me mad
That he don't know what he has
Oh yeah,
What I wouldn't give to wake up in the arms of a girl like that
I was born to live in the ever-lovin' heart of a girl like that
And I may be out of line
But I wish that she was mine
Oh yeah, I would own the world if I owned the heart of a girl...
A girl like that
Well it's hard believin' that angel's not seeing
Right through his thin disguise
And I'd love to tell her I'd love her better if she'd only let me try
And it's drivin' me insane
That she don't even know my name
Oh yeah,
What I wouldn't give to wake up in the arms of a girl like that
Oh yeah,
I was born to live in the ever-lovin' heart of a girl like that
And I may be out of line
But I wish that she was mine
Oh yeah, I would own the world if I owned the heart of a girl...
A girl like that
Yeah, the thought has crossed my mind
That the truth may be unkind
And my one love's passed me by
As I watch her walk away
Oh yeah,
What I wouldn't give to wake up in the arms of a girl like that
Oh yeah,
I was born to live in the ever-lovin' heart of a girl like that
And I may be out of line
But somehow someday, I'll find a way of makin' her mine
Oh yeah, I would own the world if I owned the heart of a girl...
A girl like that
Oh yeah, I would own the world if I owned the heart of a girl...
A girl like that
Oh yeah, what I wouldn't give if I owned the heart of a girl...
A girl like that
Oh yeah, what I wouldn't give for the heart of a girl...
