Wrong Kind of Girl by Jerry Leger Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Do you know her name, do you ever wonder what she's thinking
I love the way I have her all in my mind
Sweet and cherished by her man and country
One fine day she's gonna take up most of my time
[Verse 2]
[Been?] watching her drink, making me think that something's missing
The chestnut room don't make her eyes that hard to see
With the dim light dancing across that marble table
And something bad dancing all over me
[Chorus]
She's a hero, she's a villain
She'll give you love the way you think you need it
On the platform for an easy train
Or down the road of the hard love pain
I know there's still beauty in this crumbling world
But she's the wrong kind of girl
[Verse 3]
Reminds me of a tall rainbow I've been seeing
Sunshine hanging on your bedroom wall
Do you ever feel that kind of blue obsession
Where in the end you don't get to know anything at all
[Chorus]
She's a believer, she's a conceiver
You'll never ever want to leave her
Alone in a carnival breeze
Handful of dollars, mind full of schemes
You won't care about all the places she'll go
When she's the wrong kind of girl
[Instrumental]
[Bridge]
I don't know, I've just been thinking
Sometimes it feels like I've been sinking
Down with that brittle [?]
With all the chances that I miss
I know she's not my lover
And I can feel a little undercover
I've been looking into her world
From the pages of a picture book, to me
It can be so hard to even know
And anyway, it just comes and goes
How can one ever really know
With the wrong kind of girl
Do you know her name, do you ever wonder what she's thinking
I love the way I have her all in my mind
Sweet and cherished by her man and country
One fine day she's gonna take up most of my time
[Verse 2]
[Been?] watching her drink, making me think that something's missing
The chestnut room don't make her eyes that hard to see
With the dim light dancing across that marble table
And something bad dancing all over me
[Chorus]
She's a hero, she's a villain
She'll give you love the way you think you need it
On the platform for an easy train
Or down the road of the hard love pain
I know there's still beauty in this crumbling world
But she's the wrong kind of girl
[Verse 3]
Reminds me of a tall rainbow I've been seeing
Sunshine hanging on your bedroom wall
Do you ever feel that kind of blue obsession
Where in the end you don't get to know anything at all
[Chorus]
She's a believer, she's a conceiver
You'll never ever want to leave her
Alone in a carnival breeze
Handful of dollars, mind full of schemes
You won't care about all the places she'll go
When she's the wrong kind of girl
[Instrumental]
[Bridge]
I don't know, I've just been thinking
Sometimes it feels like I've been sinking
Down with that brittle [?]
With all the chances that I miss
I know she's not my lover
And I can feel a little undercover
I've been looking into her world
From the pages of a picture book, to me
It can be so hard to even know
And anyway, it just comes and goes
How can one ever really know
With the wrong kind of girl
