John Hiatt I Love That Girl song 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
