The Likes Of You

Lyrics

I’ve seen flowers in my hands for hours. Stood in very pretty towers all day.
I’ve seen backseats of limousines and taxis and pockets big enough to tuck me away.
I’ve been courted by the king of diamonds who liked to see his ladies shinin
And for me, he would have gone on buyin a hundred avenues.
But he ain’t nothin like. I ain’t seen nothin like the likes of you. The likes of you.
That’s why I keep holdin out for you. That’s why I keep holdin out for you. That’s what I do.

I’ve heard shiny sonnets in a silver lining, sweet enough for him to stymie my stars.
I’ve heard fables of babies in the finest cradles: poetry to try to stable my heart.
I’ve been wooed by the lord of happy endings who invited me to my own wedding
Where he guaranteed the sun would then be setting in a hundred different hues.
But he ain’t nothin like. I ain’t seen nothin like the likes of you. The likes of you. T
hat’s why I keep holdin out for you. That’s why I keep holdin out for you. That’s what I do.

And it’s easy. So very easy. So very easy. As long as there’s time, I’m just gonna pine and pine while I keep on Oooooo

That’s why I keep holdin out for you. That’s why I keep holdin out for you. That’s what I do.
And it’s easy. So very easy. So very easy. So very easy.
