Thank you girl

by John Hiatt

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 I wanna thank you, girl I wanna thank you, girl I wanna thank you, girl I wanna thank you, girl (yeah) 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, no 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 I wanna thank you, girl I wanna thank you, girl I wanna thank you, girl I wanna thank you, girl Take it down now, take it down And I wanna thank you, girl I wanna thank you, girl, yeah-yeah-yeah I wanna thank you, girl I wanna thank you, girl I wanna thank you, girl I wanna thank you, girl Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you
