With A Girl Like You Lyrics

I want to spend my life with a girl like you
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
And do all the things that you want me to
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba

Till that time has come
That we might live as one
Can I dance with you
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba

I tell by the way you dress that you're so refined
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
And by the way you talk that you're just my kind
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba

Girl why should it be
That you don't notice me
Can I dance with you
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba

Baby baby is there no chance
I can take you for the last dance
All night long yeah I've been waiting
Now there'll be no hesitating

So before this dance has reached the end
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
To you across the floor my love I'll send
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba

I just hope and pray
That I'll find a way to say
Can I dance with you
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Discovered this song in the movie "Flirting", with Nicole Kidman and Thandie Newton (1991.) The song plays a great role in a wonderful scene at a school dance. Check out the trailer for the movie at YouTube, where the song is played almost throughout. A film worth watching.

Dave Sitek covered it for the "Dark Was The Night" compilation. Quite different and beautiful.
