Oh girl I know that you're Attracted to me And I should feel the same About you There's just something wrong I don't know what it is That keeps us from becoming a two It's not your looks, you're very pretty It's not your style, the way you dress is oh so fresh It's not the way that you carry yourself Oh, girl I'm sorry You're not my kind of girl Case you're the kind of girl That a man's dreams are made of Oh girl I'm sorry You're not my kind of girl Cause you're the kind of girl That a man would be proud to call his own Girl listen to me You're so pretty I wouldn't change a thing about you But I've been in love before So I know how it feels And the chemistry just isn't there
