Looking For A Girl Lyrics - Singles - Teddy Thompson

I been looking for a girl who drinks and smokes 

Who takes a lot of work but can take a joke 

Where does this girl of mine hide herself away? 

Whoever she is I hope she's on her way 

I been looking for a girl, I been looking for a girl 

I been looking for a girl who knows how to love me 

I been looking for a girl who is good in bed 

But knows when it's time to knock it on the head 

I guess it's good loving that I want the most 

Someone who turns my bread into buttered toast 

I been looking for a girl, I been looking for a girl 

I been looking for a girl who knows how to love me 

I been looking for a girl who won't scream and shout 

When I disappear for weeks like a roustabout 

This kind of good loving is hard to find 

The perfect combination of the cruel and kind 

I been looking for a girl, oh, I been looking for a girl 

I been looking for a girl who knows how to love me 

I see those couples go streaming by 

Looking so easy like they don't even try 

It's like a magic trick, sleight of hand 

Sawn in half by a golden band, oh 

I been looking for a girl easy on the eye 

But not so fucking stupid that I want to cry 

I know God doesn't give with both his hands 

So I guess I just need someone I can stand 

I been looking for a girl, I been looking for a girl 

I been looking for a girl who knows how to love me, yeah, yeah 

I been looking for a girl who knows how to love me, oh 

I been looking for a girl who knows how to love me
