Lyrics
The Likes Of You
© 2005 Martha Ann Brooks (BMI)
Well you call me on the phone
Sayin? you want to come back home
You?re gonna walk the straightest line
You?re gonna treat me oh so fine
You?re tellin? me Babe
All the good things you will do
I can?t believe what I?m hearin?
Comin? from the likes of you
You?re the man of every hour
Like the bee to the flower
Gotta check out every one
I know you want to have your fun
You go on, Babe
You go on and I won?t be blue
I won?t be tearin? my heart out
Cryin? for the likes of you
Chorus:
Aw, Baby baby baby baby
Baby baby baby baby
Baby baby baby baby baby baby Babe
You know I got to
Got to do
What a girl?s got to do
I can?t be hangin? around here,
Waitin? on the likes of you
I shake your dust off of my feet
Even though you talk so sweet
Your words are flowin? just like wine
And they would sound so doggone fine
?Cept for one thing, Babe
You forget how well I know you
I?m gonna find me a good man
Better than the likes of you
(Repeat Chorus)
(Tag)
I?m gonna find me a good man
Better than the likes of you
