English Girls Approximately

Ryan Adams

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 jewels 
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
