Not My Girl

I've read about those tender girls

Those ready to surrender girls

I've got one of a tougher kind

Rougher kind, the make men suffer kind



Who's sweet to me, not my girl

Who's kind to me, not my girl

You want to know what my girl can be

Well, listen to me



The sight of her wakes men up

A day with her shakes men up

She practically breaks men up

She's not an Annabelle Lee



Without her, I could not exist

The way that she loves is fright'ning

And on the day when she and I first kissed

I thought I was struck by lightning



Who's heavenly, not my girl

Who wants to be, not my girl

If only you'd got my girl

You'd know what's the matter with me



Who's sweet to me, not my girl

Who's kind to me, not my girl

You want to know what my girl can be

Well, listen to me



The moment she chooses you

Your family loses you

Her kissing just bruises you

You learn what loving can be



Some girls knit socks, but she's not quite

The sort to be neat and tidy

And the socks she gave me Wednesday night

Just put me to sleep till Friday



Who's heavenly, not my girl

Who wants to be, not my girl

If only you'd got my girl

You'd know what's the matter with me
