Lyrics
Baby gave us away today
She broke my heart
I can't beg her to stay this time
I wanna go right out and
find a girl
It's been a long time and I'm seeing the world
Through different eyes
Through different eyes
Oh baby, I ain't begging but I feel like dancing
And would you let a city boy
Hold hands with you?
I wanna get to know you
I never thought of myself as tied down
But I was so much in love
But this girl I loved, she put me down
I need someone new, someone who's Gonna make my heart jump
the way she use to do
All kindsa girls, all
kindsa girls
I think I'm falling in love again
All kindsa girls, all
kindsa girls
They make me glad I'm a man, I said
All kindsa girls, all
kindsa girls
I think I'm fallin' in love, that's right
I take a green eyed girl, she's going to the square
I'll take a chance, although I ain't going nowhere
But I wanna go
I wanna go too
I'll take a north end girl, her parents ain't home
We watching TV and we're all alone
And I wanna know
All kindsa girls
I never thought I'd see the day
She'd turn her back on me
But my baby gets her way today
I need someone new, someone who's Gonna make my heart jump
the way she use to do
All kindsa girls, all
kindsa girls
I think I'm falling in love again
All kindsa girls, all
kindsa girls
They make me glad I'm a man, I said
All kindsa girls, all
kindsa girls
I feel so good inside
All kindsa girls, all
kindsa girls
I'm so happy just to be alive when I see
All kindsa girls, all
kindsa girls
All kindsa girls, all
kindsa girls
I was good to my girl for so long
She broke my heart and she done me wrong
So I'm out on the street and I open my eyes
I see these things, but to my surprise
I ain't seen before
I want some more, some love
I want some love
Oh girl, a real girl, girl
Oh, she broke my heart
I'm ready for a new start on love
Oh, here I go
Oh yeah
