Collin Raye – My Kind of Girl lyrics
When I saw you buying Cosmo and a Hot Rod magazine
I said to myself now there’s a girl for me
And when I asked you to go for a ride
You stole my heart when you said if I can drive
I said how ‘bout some music, you said, you got any Merle?
That’s when I knew you were my kind of girl
And when we started talking I could not believe my ears
You said you were a Braves fan even through the rotten years
You quoted William Faulkner and Martin Luther King
You said your favorite movie star would always be James Dean
And when we went to dinner you wore blue jeans with your pearls
That’s when I knew you were my kind of girl
You march to the beat of a different drum
The funny thing is that I hear the same one
We both like to color outside of the lines
We’re peas in a pod, girl we’re two of a kind
You march to the beat of a different drum
The funny thing is that I hear the same one
We both like to color outside of the lines
We’re peas in a pod, girl we’re two of a kind
I said, «I think I love you»
You said, «What’s not to love?»
I thought about a kiss, but I wasn’t quick enough
I guess while I was thinking you were reading my mind
‘Cause you wrapped your arms around me
And you pressed your lips to mine
You sent my head spinning just like a tilt-a-whirl
That’s when I knew you were my kind of girl
You sent my head a-spinnin’ just like a tilt-a-whirl
That’s when I knew you were my kind of girl
