Girls like me aren't hard to find
|
We grow like roses on the vine
|
And wear our hearts on our sleeves
|
You probably know a girl like me.
|
|
We live alone and in our heads
|
We eat standing up or in our beds
|
Guilt and fear merge easily
|
In the quiet souls of girls like me
|
|
Chorus:
|
And loneliness is like a cold,
|
Common and no cure we're told
|
We take to bed perchance to dream
|
In the blue light of the TV screen.
|
|
Girls like me like summer light
|
A cold beer on a summer night
|
And boys who aren't afraid of what they see
|
Inside the eyes of girls like me
|
|
Chorus 2:
|
And hopefulness is like a drug
|
It makes a girl believe in love
|
And if somehow you love us back
|
You think there's something wrong with that
|
|
Girls like me aren't hard to trust
|
Your deepest secret's safe with us
|
And when it's time to set you free
|
You can always count on girls like me
|
It's good to know a girl like me
|
You used to love a girl like me
|
