Women Like You - The Avett Brothers

Women Like You - The Avett Brothers Lyrics

[Chorus]
I thought they didn't make women like you anymore
Kindness in spades, patience galore
Elegant ways, but ready for war
I thought they didn't make women like you anymore

[Verse 1]
You're modest enough to not strut your stuff
But confident enough to know ya got it
You don't need someone's validations
Couldn't care less who's offering

[Chorus]
I thought they didn't make women like you anymore
All of these princesses are such a bore
You're a queen and you're the girl next door
I thought they didn't make women like you anymore

[Verse 2]
You have the perseverance and follow through
To build your career if you choose
You understand compromise, jealousy too
Taught me about blessings and baby blues

[Bridge]
Oh, until I met you, I searched this place
For someone with class, conviction, and grace
I thought it impossible, it couldn't be discovered
Like a car full of pretty girls that don't hate each other
[Verse 3]
You know how men think, we rarely move past
Appraising a woman's appearance
Well, judge as we may, we dig our own graves
Still, I think it's alright to say this
Oh, you look good in a T-shirt, All Stars, and jeans
Look good all done up in makeup and bling
Look good in pajamas and sharp tailored suits
Look good in dresses and cowboy boots

[Chorus]
I thought they didn't make women like you anymore
Passion for days, compassion galore
I am amazed and grateful to
God and your mother for women like you

[Outro]
You, you
You
Mmm
