Girls Like You

Keith Landry

Well, I had to swear SOMEWHERE in the album.

GIRLS LIKE YOU

You’re young and pretty
Shy and smart and witty
With a face that could’ve
Launched a thousand ships
Tall, dark, and stupid
He must’ve paid off cupid
To get his ugly face
Near your gentle lips

You’re so enamored with him
Even when he’s hammered
But still you smile as if
You’ve got the best thing going
He sees beyond you
He’s been checking out the blonde
You just walked past
Without you knowing

You’ll give him everything he needs
But there’s so much about him
You choose not to see

Girls like you
Never leaving
Guys like him
Is the reason
Guys like me
Give up on girls like you

Girls like you
Never trying
Guys like me
Is why all
Guys like me
Give up on girls like you

I’ve met your kind before
Always thinking less is more
The less he shows he loves you
Is the more you think he does
He’ll always take and never give
Expects your life to be to live
In the shadow of the man
He never was

There must be something in the genes
Of pretty girls to make them fall
For guys so dumb and mean

Girls like you
Never leaving
Guys like him
Is the reason
Guys like me
Give up on girls like you

Girls like you
Never trying
Guys like me
Is why all guys like me
Give up on girls like you

It isn’t like
I’d like to take you home myself
I hope you’re happy
In your crappy little world
The one he’s making
And all that shit you’re taking
Is turning you, sweet darling
Into one of those girls

When it’s time to run for cover
When you find he never loved you
I can tell you here and now
You wouldn’t have to work

All that hard to find a guy
Who’ll treat you like an angel
But I bet you’ll fall in love
With just some other fucking jerk

Someday you’ll lie awake in bed
Wonderin’ why you never listened
Every time I said

Girls like you
Never leaving
Guys like him
Is the reason
Guys like me
Give up on girls like you

Girls like you
Never trying
Guys like me
Is why all
Guys like me
Give up on girls like you
