Lyrics
Girls Like Me
© 2009 Words and music by Carrie Ferguson
All my life, since I was a kid
I want the kind of love that sticks to your ribs
But the kind of love that I have to give
Some people call a crime, some people call a sin
And girls like me, like girls
Its just a natural thing in the world
And you can call it a phase but you’ll have a long wait
And it might be time for you to set yourself straight
Some girls like girls, some boys like boys
Some like both, its just a joyful noise
But besides all that it’s a boring debate
Some people love to love, some people love to hate
And girls like me, like girls
Its just a wonderful thing in the world
You can say that its wrong but you’re making a mistake
And it might be time for you to set yourself straight
They say that water conquers stone over time
I know that loves’ a force that can not be denied
And girls like me, like girls
Its just a beautiful thing in the world
Why make a big fuss when we’re doing great?
And I think its time for you to set yourself straight
And girls like me, like girls
It’s just a natural thing in the world
So why waste breath, arguing with fate?
When you still got time to set yourself straight
Cause girls like me, and I like girls
Its just a glorious thing in the world
And you don’t have to participate
But you still got time to set yourself straight
