John Hiatt - I Love That Girl lyrics

Well, she come around here in her '65 dress With her eyes stuck open and her head in a mess With her head screaming, "No" and her heart saying, "Yes" And I love that girl It was back in that house full of drunkards and thieves When she first saw me rising up off of my knees And she said do you think you could show me that, please And I love that girl Well, I love that girl and I love that girl Well, I love that girl, well, I love that girl We'd been left by the road in the black of the night We'd been stranded by dreams in the chapel of moonlight They took us downtown and they read us our rights And I love that girl So we married and said that we never would part And there hasn't been even one small change of heart If it ended up now I wouldn't know where to start And I love that girl Well, I love that girl, well, I love that girl Well, I love that girl and I love that girl You lose it all and you're ascending Into a love that's never ending Now they're boiling the oil on the brigs at the gates The king's men in the castle, they're lying in wait She says now is the time that we must not hesitate And I love that girl And she wakes me with coffee and kisses my head And starts to explain about something she's read I say darling, "You haven't heard a word that I've said" And I love that girl And I love that girl, yes, I love that girl Well, I love that girl and I love that girl Well, I love that girl, oh, I love that girl And I love that girl, oh, I love that girl I know, I know, I know I love that girl, yes, I love that girl Well, I know I love that girl, oh, I love that, I love that girl And I love and I love that girl and I love that girl Oh, I love that girl
