That Kind of Girl
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
yeah
I know you don't understand this
But I think you have a death wish
Even though I know you do not want to die
Yeah you just want to fall in love
Be blessed by the lord above
And get married to a real nice guy
Wear a string of pearls
Wear your mothers pearls
you are just…
That kind of girlyeah
You must have a death wish
But you would never cut your wrists
I know you do not believe in suicide
You just want the perfect home
Full of perfect stuff and be left alone
And never ever have to go outside
Out into the world
Out into the world
You are just…
That kind of girl
yeah
You must have a death wish
you look a little anorexic
Though I know you eat'n good healthy food
You do not smoke cigarettes, do drugs, get drunk
Or even think of it
And love to do without sex is more true
yeah
But true to who?
True to you?
Or just life in that kind of world
Just life…you're
That kind of girl
