Gingerbread Girl Lyrics - Singles - Hugh Cornwell

I know a gingerbread girl 

With diamonds for eyes and a necklace of pearls 

She's got a message for me 

She said, I've got to be free so stop following me 

I saw a petulant lip with a hint of surprise 

What a colorful trip? 

I've heard every word that she said 

As we sat on her bed, we got drunker instead 

And when she opened up 

I saw a brimming cup 

I'm so glad 

That gingerbread girl's been bred right 

I know a gingerbread girl 

With her own pot of honey and a head with no curls 

She's got her own recipe 

And she showed it to me as she sat on my knee 

And when she laughs with me 

I know the sky is free 

I'm so glad 

That gingerbread girl's been bred right 

If you see gingerbread girl 

Tell her, I'm in a hurry and my head's in a whirl 

Is she as excited as me? 

To be or not to be that's the prospect you see 

And when she does arrive 

Her face will touch the sky 

I'm so glad 

That gingerbread girl's been bred right 

I'm so glad 

That gingerbread girl's been bred right 

So glad 

That gingerbread girl's been bred right
