Your the kind of boy who likes the kind of girls
That like to fool around with the boys on the first date

Im the kind of girl who ain't supposed to like those boys
But I kinda like those boys that like those kind of girls

Well maybe its fate we should meet up for a date so
We can sit around and talk about
Those things we just cant talk about
like making love and drankin till the sun comes up

Well hallelujah I finally found a boy like me
Lord have mercy I think I'm in a fantasy
You may talk a lot of stuff sayin' what you gonna do and what do
you want to do with me Well
Hallelujah I finally found a boy like me

Your the kinda boy my daddy used to warn 
would walk into my life and lead me down the wrong way
Im the kinda girl who tried hard to ignore
those things that daddy warned about those kinda boys

Well whats a girl to do with a big ole' boy like you
when we sit around and talk those we can just talk about
like making love and drankin' until the sun comes up

Well hallelujah I finally found a boy like me
Lord have mercy I think Im in a fantasy
You may talk a lot of stuff sayin' you gonna do what and
what Do you want to do with me Well
Hallelujah I finally found a boy like me

Sit around talkin' about those things we can just talk about
like making love and drankin' until the sun comes up

Well hallelujah I finally found a boy like me
Lord have mercy I think I'm in a fantasy
You may talk a lot of stuff sayin' what you gonna do what and what
Do you want to do with me Well
Hallelujah Lord have mercy
Hallelujah I finally found a boy like me

Yay ya
