Teddy Thompson Lyrics
"Looking For A Girl"

I've been looking for agirl who drinks and smokes
Who takes a lot of drugs and can take a joke
Where does this girl of mine hide herself away?
Whoever she is I hope she's on her way

I've been looking for a girl
I've been looking for a girl
I've been looking for a girl who knows how to love me

I've been looking for a girl who is good in bed
Who knows when it's time to knock it on the head
I guess it's good lovin' that I want the most
Someone who turns my bread into buttered toast

I've been looking for a girl
I've been looking for a girl
I've been looking for a girl who knows how to love me

I've been looking for a girl won't scream and shout
When I disappear for weeks like a roustabout
This kind of good lovin' is hard to find
The perfect combination of the cruel and kind

I've been looking for a girl
I've been looking for a girl
I've been looking for a girl who knows how to love me

I see those couples going streaming by
Looking so easy like they don't even try
It's like a magic trick slight of hand
Sawn in half by a golden band

I've been looking for a girl easy on the eyes
But not so fuckin' stupid that I want to cry
I know God doesn't give with both his hands
So I guess I just want someone I can stand

I've been looking for a girl
I've been looking for a girl
I've been looking for a girl who knows how to love me
