A Girl Who Can Lyrics

Well I could talk to you for hours

And I could look at you for days

I like to conjure up your image when you're gone

And pack it in my emotional suitcase

So I can take you where I'm going

Take you all around the world

Take you 'round to all the corner stores and singles bars

And ask 'em all

"Ain't that a girl who can?"

Well I was backed up in the badlands

I was shacked up with some tart

I had learned to see the yawning abyss as my friend

And that wasn't very smart

I knew the darkness had no ending

I knew this world was built on lies

I never knew that I knew nothing at all

'Till you opened my eyes

In days gone by

Oh I'm glad I'm far away

From the man that I was then

I mean, that poor fool had never even seen

A girl who can

A girl who can

A girl who can find the meaning with no index

A girl who knows it's funny anyway

A girl who warns ya before she starts pretendin'

And tells you the rules

To the games she likes to play

Hey

And I'm embarrassed now to say it

'Cause the words don't fill the bill

I think you already know what you've done to my life

And who knows what else you will

I'd like to pack you in my suitcase

Take you all around the world

Take you 'round to all those cathedrals and museums

And yell at all the tourists

"Hey! Look at her!"

In days gone by

Oh I'm glad I'm far away

From the poor excuse of a man I was then

Imagine, that poor fool had never even seen

A girl who can

A girl who can
