a woman like you - ricky young lyrics
last night, outta the blue
driftin’ off to the evening news
she said “honey, what would you do
if you’d never met me”
i just laughed, said “i don’t know
but i could take a couple guesses though”
and then tried to dig real deep
said, “darling honestly…
i’d do a lot more offsh-r- fishin’
i’d probably eat more drive-thru chicken
take a few strokes off my golf game
if i’d have never known your name
i’d still be driving that old green ‘nova
i probably never would have heard of yoga
be a better football fan
but if i was a single man
alone and out there on the loose
well i’d be looking for a woman like you.”
i could tell that got her attention
so i said, “oh yeah, i forgot to mention
i wouldn’t trade a single day
for 100 years the other way.”
she just smiled and rolled her eyes
cause she’s heard all of my lines
i said, “c’mon on girl, seriously
if i hadn’t been so lucky
i’d be shootin’ pool in my bachelor pad
playing b-ss in my cover band
restocking up cold bud light
for poker every tuesday night
yeah i’d have a dirtbike in the shed
and not one throw pillow on the bed
i’d keep my cash in a coffee can
but if i was a single man
alone and out there on the loose
well i’d be looking for a woman like you.”
she knows what a mess
i’d be if i didn’t have her here
but to be sure
i whispered in her ear
“you know i get sick deep-sea fishin’
and you make the best fried chicken
i got a hopeless golf game
i love the sound of your name
i might miss that old green ‘nova
but i love watchin’ you do yoga
i’d take a gold band on my hand
over being a single man
cause honestly
i don’t know what i’d do
if i’d never met a woman like you.”
