Artist/Band: Jim Ed Brown and the Browns
Lyrics for Song: What's a Girl Like You Doing in a Place Like This
Lyrics for Album: This Is My Beat! [RCA Victor] [1968]



(Jim Ed Brown - Fritz)



What's a girl like you doing in a place like this?



Oh, what a pretty face in such a dirty place

What in the world are you doing here?

You try to act like you belong

But I know you're just puttin' on.



What's a girl like you doing in a place like this?



What's a girl like you wasting your time for

In a place that only brings disgrace and shame

What's a girl like you wasting your life for

What went wrong who is to blame.



You play the jukebox all night long

You try to act like you belong

But your eyes tell me you're a million miles away

So if I ask just once again

It's because I don't understand.



What's a girl like you doing in a place like this?



What's a girl like you doing in a place like this?

As a staple of their discography, the recording showcases the band's ability to craft catchy, emotionally resonant music that bridged the gap between traditional gospel roots and contemporary soul pop. The track remains a notable song in their catalog, reflecting the energetic and spiritually charged aesthetic that defined their performances and recordings of the era.
