Lyrics of Looking For A Girl - 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
