One of a Very Few of a Kind
Of Montreal · The Bedside Drama: A Petite Tragedy [1998]
it's curls are dancing flames of black fire
Allah created you just for us to admire
I doubt that you're the only one like you that I'll find
But for sure you're one of a very few of a kind,
Yes you are
Your eyes are so clear,
the seem to speak to me from a gleeful world
And they look link singing moons made of black pearl.
I'm not saying that you're the only one like you that I'll find
But for sure you're one of a very few of a kind,
Yes you are
You're as stunning as a tidal wave of wisteria
Just a smile from you has sent gents into hysteria
I doubt that you're the only one like you that I'll find
But for sure you're one of a very few of a kind
One of a very few of a kind
One of a Very Few of a Kind
