    David Bowie - A Girl Like You?

    I`ve never known a girl like you before
    Now just like in a song from days of yore
    Here you come a-knocking, knocking on my door
    Well I've never met a girl like you before

    (Guitar solo)

    You give me just a taste so I want more
    Now my hands are bleeding and my knees are raw
    'Cause now you got me crawling, crawling on the floor
    And I`ve never known a girl like you before

    (Guitar solo)

    You made me acknowledge the devil in me
    I hope to God I'm talking metaphorically
    Hope that I'm talking alegorically
    Know that I'm talking about the way I feel
    And I`ve never known a girl like you before

    Never, never, never, never
    Never known a girl like you before

    (Guitar solo)

    This old town's changed so much
    Don't feel like I belong
    Too many protest singers
    Not enough protest songs
    And now you've come along
    Yes you've come along
    And I've never met a girl like you before

    Badge by Cream also has the lyric, "Talking bout a girl that looks like you."

    Thinkin bout the times you drove in my car.
    Thinkin that I might have drove you too far.
    And Im thinkin bout the love that you laid on my table.

    I told you not to wander round in the dark.
    I told you bout the swans, that they live in the park.
    Then I told you bout our kid, now hes married to mabel.

    Yes, I told you that the light goes up and down.
    Dont you notice how the wheel goes round?
    And you better pick yourself up from the ground
    Before they bring the curtain down,
    Yes, before they bring the curtain down.

    Talkin bout a girl that looks quite like you.
    She didnt have the time to wait in the queue.
    She cried away her life since she fell off the cradle.
