I'm checking the forecast, they say it may be cloudy
We might luck up and get sunshine
It's what you deserve, the sound of the birds
And your hair flying free in the wind girl
So go on girl, you're the only flower that blooms in the summer
Ain't no need to stop and wonder
'Cause there'll never be another
That's how I know

They don't make 'em like you no more
(smile)
They don't make 'em like you no more
(touch)
They don't make 'em like you no more
Feeling that you give, girl I know

They don't make 'em like you no more
(your hair)
They don't make 'em like you no more
(your skin)
They don't make 'em like you no more
(eyes)

We got perfect timing, our hearts are often broken
But mine's you keep so wide open
We both know there's no guarantee, yeah

So baby, you see you gotta tell me where you came from
'Cause if you leave someone's gotta replace ya
'Cause I realize that you are truly something special

They don't make 'em like you no more
(smile)
They don't make 'em like you no more
(touch)
They don't make 'em like you no more
Feeling that you give, girl I know

They don't make 'em like you no more
(your hair, baby)
They don't make 'em like you no more
(skin)
They don't make 'em like you no more
(eyes)

I'm hoping this can last forever
Where can I go to find something
More special than you girl?
I know I'll never find another

You're unforgettable, undeniable
Anybody would fall for you
My heart is saying you're the one
My heart is saying you're the one babe

They don't make 'em like you no more
(your smile)
They don't make 'em like you no more
(your touch)
They don't make 'em like you no more
Feeling that you give, girl I know

They don't make 'em like you no more
(hair)
They don't make 'em like you no more
(skin)
They don't make 'em like you no more
(eyes)

They don't make 'em like you no more
(your smile)
They don't make 'em like you no more
(your touch)
They don't make 'em like you no more
Feeling that you give, girl I know

They don't make 'em like you no more
(your hair)
They don't make 'em like you no more
(your skin)
They don't make 'em like you no more
(eyes)

Oh, oh, baby
They don't, they don't
Make 'em like you
