Women Like You - The Avett Brothers

I thought they didn’t make women like you anymore

Kindness in spades, patience galore

Elegant ways, but ready for war

I thought they didn’t make women like you anymore

You’re modest enough to not strut your stuff

But confident enough to know ya got it

You don’t need someone’s validations

Couldn’t care less who’s offering

I thought they didn’t make women like you anymore

All of these princesses are such a bore

You’re a queen and you’re the girl next door

I thought they didn’t make women like you anymore

You have the perseverance and follow through

To build your career if you choose

You understand compromise, jealousy too

Taught me about blessings and baby blues

Oh, until I met you, I searched this place

For someone with class, conviction, and grace

I thought it impossible, it couldn’t be discovered

Like a car full of pretty girls that don’t hate each other

You know how men think, we rarely move past

Appraising a woman’s appearance

Well, judge as we may, we dig our own graves

Still, I think it’s alright to say this

Oh, you look good in a T-shirt, All Stars, and jeans

Look good all done up in makeup and bling

Look good in pajamas and sharp tailored suits

Look good in dresses and cowboy boots

I thought they didn’t make women like you anymore

Passion for days, compassion galore

I am amazed and grateful to

God and your mother for women like you

You, you, you
