My Kind of Girl

When I saw you buying Cosmo and a Hot Rod magazine
I said to myself, "Now there's a girl for me"
And when I asked you to go for a ride
You stole my heart when you said, "If I can drive"
I said, "How 'bout some music?" You said, "You got any Merle?"
That's when I knew you were my kind of girl

And when we started talkin' I could not believe my ears
You said you were a Braves fan even through the rotten years
You quoted William Faulkner and Martin Luther King
You said your favorite movie star would always be James Dean
And when we went to dinner, you wore blue jeans with your pearls
That's when I knew you were my kind of girl

You march to the beat of a different drum
The funny thing is that I hear the same one
We both like to color outside of the lines
We're peas in a pod, girl, we're two of a kind

Hey, you march to the beat of a different drum
The funny thing is that I hear the same one
We both like to color outside of the lines
We're peas in a pod, girl, we're two of a kind

I said, "I think I love you," You said, "What's not to love?"
I thought about a kiss, but I wasn't quick enough
I guess while I was thinkin', you were reading my mind
'Cause you wrapped your arms around me
And you pressed your lips to mine
You sent my head to spinning, just like a Tilt-A-Whirl
That's when I knew, you were my kind of girl
You sent my head to spinning, just like a Tilt-A-whirl
That's when I knew you were my kind of girl

(My kind, my kind of girl) my kind of girl
(My kind, my kind of girl) you're my kind of girl
(My kind, my kind of girl) oh, my kind of girl
(My kind, my kind of girl) that's right
(My kind, my kind of girl) baby, I'm talking 'bout you
(My kind, my kind of girl) that's when I knew
(My kind, my kind of girl) that's when I knew
(My kind, my kind of girl) that's when I knew that it was you
(My kind, my kind of girl)
