A Place for Girls Like You
Faron Young · My Home Sweet Home [2012]
Fate has planned a place for girls like you
Who torture guys like me
And the time for all bad things to end
Will surely come, you'll see.
The world will turn its back on those
Who never can be true
And you'll find out that fate has planned
A place for girls like you.
I tried so hard to be the way
You wanted me to be
To give you things you wanted most
But still we disagree.
Each time I try to change my life
To fit the way you live
I find that you just made new plans
For more than I can give.
