How Do You Love a Girl Like That? Lyrics > I Sing

Jenny was an artist
She couldn't even cook
She'd sit up all night reading
With a fountain pen and book held in her hand

Jenny said that little boys don't understand a thing
They don't know how to love she said
They just know how to sing
And I tried to talk it over
But she stared at me and sat
And I said what's a boy to do with a girl like that?
How do you love a girl like that?

Mary was a writer
She'd give me things to read
They were stories filled with apathy
And bitterness and greed on every page
Mary said my rage was all so thinly disguised
I said I feel just fine and there's no need to analyze
I threw her books away and in a day she left me flat
And I said what's a boy to do with a girl like that?
How do you love a girl like that?

How do you love a girl without a spine of her own?
How do you love a girl who doesn't mind being alone
Every night
They think that it's all right when it's all wrong
Jesus Christ they all just wanna get along
But love is a mess
And love is a wreck
And what's it all about?
I'm moving on
I'm moving out

April was to eager
May wasn't any fun
And making love to June was like deflowering a nun
And Jacqueline was far too thin
And Jill was getting fat
And Heidi is too...
And Heidi is too...
Heidi
How do you love a girl like that?
