A Girl Like Me

Hot skin in the night

In the hour when the animals are born

And crimes of passion are committed

Take me to the morning light

Take me to your leader



It took a girl like me

To bring you to your knees

You took a girl like me



You are my heart

You are my only heart

But this cold air is killing me

And as we make love

The silence, the silence

Trying to find the thread

Of failed romance



It took a girl like me

To bring you to your knees

You take a girl like me



I swing my face towards the sky

You put your hand over my mouth

Oh, take me, take me

To the frozen north

Skating, falling

Falling down, down, down

Into icy water



I'll be what you want me to be

To bring you to your knees

Your lover, your daughter

We'll move in slow motion

Falling down, down, down

Into icy water

You took a girl like me



I might never leave this room again

Shut myself inside the old photographs

The faded light of the young girl

Patterns, shadows on the walls

Painted ladies

They look a lot like me



It took a girl like me

To bring you to your knees

You took a girl like me
