Smithereens - Girl Like You

(I used to) travel in the shadows and I never found the nerve
To try to walk up to you
But now I am a man and I know that there's no time to waste
There's too much to lose
(Girl you say) anything at all and you know that you can call
And I'll be right there for you
First love, heartbreak, tough luck, big mistake
What else can you do

I'll say anything you want to hear
I'll see everything through
I'll do anything I have to do
Just to win the love of a girl like you
A girl like you

People talk and people stare, tell them I don't really care
This is the place I should be
(And if they) think it's really strange for a girl like you
To be in love with someone like me
(I wanna) tell them all to go to hell, we are doing very well
Without them you see
(That's just the) way it is and they will see
I am yours and you are mine
The way it should be

I'll say anything you want to hear...

Just to win the love of a girl like you
[A girl like you] x3

(solo)

(Now if I) seem a little wild, there's no holding back
I'm trying to get a message to you
(I won't take) anything from anyone
I won't walk and I won't run
I believe in you
London, Washington, anywhere you are I'll run
Together we'll be
Inside, outside, got my pride
I won't let them take that from me

I'll say anything you want to hear...

Just to win the love of a girl like you
[A girl like you] x3

[I'll say anything (I'll say anything)
I'll do anything (I'll do anything)
I'll say anything (almost anything)
[Except goodbye] x2
