Lyrics

I've read about those tender girls Those ready to surrender girls I've got one of a tougher kind Rougher kind, the make men suffer kind Who's sweet to me? Not my girl Who's kind to me? Not my girl You want to know what my girl can be? Well, listen to me The sight of her wakes men up A day with her shakes men up She practically breaks men up She's not an Annabelle Lee Without her I could not exist The way that she loves is fright'ning And on the day when she and I first kissed I thought I was struck by lightning Who's heavenly? Not my girl Who wants to be? Not my girl If only you'd got my girl You'd know what's the matter with me Who's sweet to me? Not my girl Who's kind to me? Not my girl You want to know what my girl can be Well, listen to me The moment she chooses you Your family loses you Her kissing just bruises you You learn what loving can be Some girls knit socks but she's not quite The sort to be neat and tidy And the socks she gave me Wednesday night Just put me to sleep till Friday Who's heavenly? Not my girl Who wants to be? Not my girl If only you'd got my girl You'd know what's the matter with me
