John Hiatt - Thank You Girl lyrics

You're a little on the thin side

But that's alright

You stood by me baby

When I didn't think we'd ever see daylight

Rolled out of California

Like a couple of thieves

Now we're rolling in clover babe

We didn't read this in no tea leaves

My fate was sealed before I met you darling

I was halfway down a shallow grave

So little room for you to catch me falling

Still you took the little love I saved

CHORUS:

I wanna thank you girl

I wanna thank you girl

I wanna thank you girl

I wanna thank you girl

It's a matter of opinion

But I think you're fine

As a matter of fact babe

They couldn't hold a candle to your kind

If all men are equal

This must be against the law

'Cause I can't help but feeling

I'm one up on my brother when night falls

'Cause in your arms I get the real love story

No fairy tale from somewhere back in time

In the dawn you're like a morning glory

Opening up for my sweet light to shine

CHORUS
