English Girls Can Be So Mean Lyrics by Ryan Adams

English Girls Can Be So Mean Lyrics

    English girls are pretty when they play guitar
    Crazy like a day just a-breaking I ain't sure what for
    Ain't got a mother or father or place to fall



    I care alright
    Said you didn't love me, didn't want a thing, English girls can be so mean

    She's got eyes as pretty as a pair of jewels
    Falling down a canyon like a couple drunken criminals
    She had a messy bedroom on the edge of town
    I ain't ever been good enough to ever keep around

    it'll be alright
    Said you didn't love me, didn't mean a thing, English girls can be so mean
    But, ohh, look at you now
    Ohh, look at you now
    Mmmm, best I've ever seen
    Just a tall drink of water, just a-pourin' on down the sink

    Tall drink of water, she's a Norfolk waterfall
    Little daybreaker, she's a shootin' like a cannonball
    Crazy like a rocket when you're coming through my radio
    Kept me in your bed till the wintertime turned to fall
    Fall time coming, and I guess my little bird can sing
    Come on Elizabeth, a come on a Bethany
    Come on further, I'm tired and I want to sleep
    My little dove do, and I guess she was done with me

    it'll be alright
    Said you didn't love me, didn't want a thing, English girls can be so mean
    But ohh, look at you now
    Ohh, look at you now
    Mmmm, best I've ever seen
    Just a tall drink of water, just a-pourin' on down the sink

    Kiss me on the lips when my heart just laughed it off
    Words may move, but there never moving fast enough
    Celebrate the differences, I celebrate the songs you sing
    Just three words, my love: you meant everything
    You meant everything
    You meant everything
    You meant everything
