Never Met A Girl Like You Before
Flogging Molly · Alive Behind the Green Door [2006]
But you make me see my way
And I would die for you tomorrow
Would you come to me today?
Sing a song of sadness about the girl with the happy face
And dance upon the water with a ripple or a trace
Love is here any cloud in the sky
Would you be my flushing bride?
I don't think so
But I never met a girl like,
I never met a girl like,
I never met a girl like you before
I'd climb the highest mountain
To the sunrise from your face
Light a million candles
To flicker to your name
Scream aloud with vengeance
With the wind beneath my breath
Do you understand the madness?
Do you recognize the grace?
Love is here any cloud in the sky
Would you be my flushing bride?
I don't think so
Oh I never met a girl like
I never met a girl like
I never met a girl like
I never met a girl like you before,
Oh no I never met a girl like you before
Oh no I never met a girl like you before, for, for
Oh no I never met a girl like you before
