English Girls Approximately

English Girls Approximately - Ryan Adams

English girls are pretty then they play guitar

Crazy like a day just a-breakin' I ain't sure what for

Ain't got a mother or father or a place to fall

She got a brother in the blues

But he doesn't know the blues at all

Said you didn't love me it was right on time

I was just about to tell you but okay alright

Said you didn't love me didn't want a thing

English girls can be so mean

She's got eyes pretty as a pair of jewels

Falling down a canyon like a couple drunken criminals

She had a messy bedroom on the edge of town

But I ain't ever been good enough to ever keep around

Said you didn't love me it was right on time

I was just about to tell you but okay alright

Said you didn't love me didn't mean a thing

English girls can be so mean

But ohh look at you now

Ohh look at you now

Mmm best I've ever seen

Just a tall drink of water

Just a-pourin' on down the sink

Tall drink of water she's a Norfolk waterfall

Little day breaker she's a shootin' like a cannonball

Crazy like a rocket when you're comin' through my radio

Kept me in your bed till the wintertime turned to fall

Fall time comin' and I guess my little bird can sing

Come on Elizabeth come on Bethany

Come on further I'm tired and I want to sleep

My little dove flew and I guess she was done with me

Said you didn't love me it was right on time

I was just about to tell you but okay alright

Said you didn't love me didn't want a thing

English girls can be so mean

But ohh look at you now

Ohh look at you now

Mmm best I've ever seen

Just a tall drink of water

Just a-pourin' on down the sink

Kiss me on the lips when my heart just laughed it off

Words may move but they never movin' fast enough

Celebrate the differences I celebrate the songs you sing

Just three words my love you meant everything

You meant everything

You meant everything

You meant everything
