The Hardway Lyrics
Prologue - The other night I met a girl and she looked to be so nice
I asked her for the digits and she didn't think twice
A couple of days later called her up and asked her out
She said Wit you?
I said Wit me and then she said Without a doubt
I took her to the garden where I guess they grow the olives
She wore a tighter skirt than any I had seen in college
She said I love to smoke and drink while cursing like a sailor
I asked her where she got her mouth and if she had a tailor
Finally I walked her to the door to say good night
She said I am an apple would you care to take a bite
Politely I refused and said, I'm looking for a lady.
So she slapped me on my face and said Boy you must be crazy
Chorus - She's that kinda girl
Different from the ones before
'Cause I know she loves the Lord
She's that kinda girl
Virtuous in every way
The kinda girl that makes you say
I hope she comes my way
Verse 1 - Well I'm lookin for a girl who's virtuous
'Cause God laid it on my heart to search for this
So I open up thr Word to the book of Proverbs
The 31st chapter tells me all about her
Charm is deceitful and beauty is vain
A woman who fears the Lord, she ain't playin'
Hear what I'm sayin' 'cause I'm sayin' it clearly
She's the kind of girl I gots to have near me
Repeat Chorus
Verse 2 - Well I'm lookin' into hookin' with a lady
And not a girlie of the worl'y that's shady
But the kind of girl you meet behind the doors of the church
Ya see, God will bring her to me so I don't have to search
Too hard, I've been scarred by the ones of the past
So put an A-P-B out on the one that'll last
A little longer than a roll in the hay for sure
But a bonafide lady's what I'm prayin for
B Verse - When I finally meet her
I'll know how to treat her
By fulfilling all her needs
Love her and respect her
Cherish her forever
She's the kinda girl for me
B Chorus - She's that kinda girl
Different from the ones before
'Cause I know she loves the Lord
She's that kinda girl
Perfect for each other
There'll never be another for me
She's that kinda girl for me
Virtuous in every way
The kinda girl that makes you say
I hope she comes my way
Bridge - Heaven help me
Hear my plea
I know there's one who's
Perfect for me
Repeat B Verse
Breakdown - She's the kinda girl for me
The kinda girl for me
She's the kinda girl for me
She's the kinda girl for me
The kinda girl for me
She's the kind of girl for me
I pray she comes my way
Repeat Chorus
C Chorus - She's that kinda girl
Different from the ones before
She's the one that I adore
She's the kinda girl for me
Virtuous inevery way
The kinda girl that makes you say
I hope she comes my way
