English Girls Approximately lyrics

English girls are pretty when they play guitar

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

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

She got a brother in the (blues / booze),

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 that I care alright

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

English girls can be so mean

She's got eyes as 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

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 that it'll be 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

Mmmm, 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 daybreaker, she's a shootin' like a cannonball

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

Kept me in your bed 'til the wintertime turned to fall

Fall time coming, and I guess my little bird can sing

Come on Elizabeth, a come on a Bethany

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

My little dove do, 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 that it'll be 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

Mmmm, 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 there never moving 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
