This one was written in the mid 1970’s. It started as a cool chord progression, and the words were an afterthought.
Girls like you, make the old men sigh
A few years younger, they’d be giving you a try
Girls like you, make the young men die
To get to you, they gotta stand in line
There ought to be a law, against girls like you
Bring a man so low, he don’t know what to do
No so long ago, I had a girl like you
Your love was so hot, the best I ever knew
Then I turned my back, caught you with another man
And now sweet darling, I just don’t give a damn
There ought to be a law, against girls like you
Bring a man so low, he don’t know what to do
