Girl Like Her

[Verse 1]

I’ve been asking myself why,

Where did I go wrong?

When will you realize

It’s with me that you belong

 

She wears short skirts, I wear skinny jeans

I bite my tongue, she files her nails

She reads fiction, I like fairy tales

She wants action and I like love scenes

 

[Chorus]

Turn around, turn around, and take a look at me

Do you see how it used to be?

Turn around, turn around, and take a look at her,

She’s wearing fur like a plastic doll

She doesn’t deserve you at all

So what’s a boy like you doing with a girl like her?

What’s a boy like you doing with a girl like her?

 

[Verse 2]

I’ve been feeling so hopeless,

Come out of this day dream

When will you realize

What an idiot  you have been

 

She writes dark poetry, I write love songs

I love your humor, she likes your attitude

She will never know you the way I understand you

She’s on her way; I’m waiting for you to come along

 

[Chorus]

Turn around, turn around, and take a look at me

Do you see how it used to be?

Turn around, turn around, and take a look at her,

She’s wearing fur like a plastic doll

She doesn’t deserve you at all

So what’s a boy like you doing with a girl like her?

What’s a boy like you doing with a girl like her?

 

[Bridge]

Could you tell it to my face you don’t love me anymore?

The look on your face tells me you do

Could you look into my eyes and say you don’t care?

The look in your eyes tells me you do

 

Don’t you know how much I love you?

Don’t you see I belong with you?

She wants you but I need you

I need you but she’s got you

 

[Chorus]

Turn around, turn around, and take a look at me

Do you see how it used to be?

Turn around, turn around, and take a look at her,

She’s wearing fur like a plastic doll

She doesn’t deserve you at all

So what’s a boy like you doing with a girl like her?

What’s a boy like you doing with a girl like her?

A girl like her
