Girl Like You
The Bob And Tom Band Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Can someone tell me what her name is
I've got her number should I call
Should I ask her how her day has been
Or should I say nothing at all
When I was looking through your window
You had just a towel on
Blasting FIDLAR through your speakers
And then I watched you hit the bong
A girl like you could really save me
I've got your number should I call
Should I ask you how your day has been
Or should I say nothing at all
I like it when you wear your converse
And your cut up denim jeans
I watched you drop in on my skateboard
And you dropped right down into me
A girl like you
A girl like you
A girl like you




A girl like you
A girl like you
