thank you mary chapin carpenter...

girl's like me aren't hard to find,
we grow like roses on the vine.
we wear our hearts on our sleeves
you probably know a girl like me.

we live alone and in our heads
we eat standing up or in our beds.
guilt and filth merge easily
in the quiet soul of girls like me.

and loneliness is like a cold
common and no cure we're told
we take to bed perchance to dream
in the blue light of the t.v. screen.

girls like me like summer light
and cold beer on a summer night
and boys who aren't afraid of what they see
inside the eyes of girls like me.

and hope finesses like a drug,
it makes a girl believe in love
and if somehow you love us back
we think there's something wrong with that.

girls like me aren't hard to trust
your deepest secret's safe with us.
and when it's time to set you free
you can always count on girls like me.

it's good to know a girl like me.

you used to love a girl like me.
