A Woman Like You Lyrics


last night out of the blue
driftin’ off to the evenin’ news
i just laughed, said “i don’t know,
“but i could take a couple guesses though”
and then tried to dig real deep,
said, “darlin’, honestly
“i’d do a lot more offshore fishin’
“probably eat more drive-thru chicken
“take a few strokes off my golf game
“if i’d a never known your name
“i’d still be drivin’ that old green ‘nova
“i probably never would have heard of yoga
“be a better football fan
“but if i was a single man
“alone and out there on the loose
“i’d be lookin’ for a woman like you”
well, i could tell that got her attention
so i said, “oh yeah, i forgot to mention

“i wouldn’t trade a single day
“for a hundred years the other way”
she just smiled and rolled her eyes
‘cause she’s heard all of my lines
i said, “c’mon on girl, seriously
“if i hadn’t been so lucky
“i’d be shootin’ pool in my bachelor pad
“playin’ bass in my cover band
“restockin’ up cold bud light
“for poker every tuesday night, yeah
“i’d have a dirtbike in the she’d
“and not one throw pillow on the bed
“i’d keep cash in a coffee can
“but if i was a single man
“alone and out there on the loose
“i’d be looking for a woman like you”
she knows what a mess i’d be if i didn’t have her here
but to be sure, i whispered in her ear
“you know i get sick deep-sea fishin’
“and you make the best fried chicken
“i got a hopeless golf game
“i love the sound of your name
“i might miss that old green ‘nova
“but i love watchin’ you do yoga
“i’d take a gold band on my hand
“over bein’ a single man
“‘cause honestly, i don’t know what i’d do
“if i’d never met a woman like you”

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
