Lyrics Edwyn Collins – A Girl Like You

I’ve never known a girl like you before
Now, just like in a song from days of yore
Here you come a-knocking, knocking on my door
And I’ve never met a girl like you before

You give me just a taste so I want more
Now my hands are bleeding and my knees are raw
‘Cause now you got me crawling, crawling on the floor
And I’ve never known a girl like you before

You made me acknowledge the devil in me
I hope to God I’m talking metaphorically
Hope that I’m talking allegorically
Know that I’m talking ’bout the way I feel
And I’ve never known a girl like you before
Never, never, never, never
Never known a girl like you before

This old town’s changed so much
Don’t feel that I belong
Too many protest singers
Not enough protest songs
And now you’ve come along
Yes, you’ve come along
And I’ve never met a girl like you before
