Soundtracks - English Girls Approximately - Ryan Adams lyrics

English girls are pretty when they play guitar Crazy like a day just a-breaking I ain't sure what for Ain't got a mother or father or place to fall She got a brother in the (blues / booze), but he doesn't know the blues at all Said you didn't love me, it was right on time, I was just about to tell you that I care alright Said you didn't love me, didn't want a thing, English girls can be so mean She's got eyes as pretty as a pair of j**els Falling down a canyon like a couple drunken criminals She had a messy bedroom on the edge of town I ain't ever been good enough to ever keep around Said you didn't love me, it was right on time, I was just about to tell you that it'll be alright Said you didn't love me, didn't mean a thing, English girls can be so mean But, ohh, look at you now Ohh, look at you now Mmmm, best I've ever seen Just a tall drink of water, just a-pourin' on down the sink Tall drink of water, she's a Norfolk waterfall Little daybreaker, she's a shootin' like a cannonball Crazy like a rocket when you're coming through my radio Kept me in your bed till the wintertime turned to fall Fall time coming, and I guess my little bird can sing Come on Elizabeth, a come on a Bethany Come on further, I'm tired and I want to sleep My little dove do, and I guess she was done with me Said you didn't love me, it was right on time, I was just about to tell you that it'll be alright Said you didn't love me, didn't want a thing, English girls can be so mean But ohh, look at you now Ohh, look at you now Mmmm, best I've ever seen Just a tall drink of water, just a-pourin' on down the sink Kiss me on the lips when my heart just laughed it off Words may move, but there never moving fast enough Celebrate the differences, I celebrate the songs you sing Just three words, my love: you meant everything You meant everything You meant everything You meant everything
