When I saw you buyin' Cosmo and a Hot Rod magazine I said to myself now there's a girl for me And when I asked you to go for a ride You stole my heart when you said if I can drive I said how bout some music you said you got any Merle That's when I knew you were my kind of girl And when we started talking I could not believe my ears You said you were a Braves fan even through the rotten years You quoted William Faulkner and Martin Luther King You said your favorite movie star would always be James Dean And when we went to dinner you wore blue jeans with your pearls That's when I knew you were my kind of girl You march to the beat of a different drum The funny thing is that I hear the same one We both like to color outside of the lines We're peas in a pod girl we're two of a kind Yeah you march to the beat of a different drum I said I think I love you you said what's not to love I thought about a kiss but I wasn't quick enough I guess while I was thinkin' you were readin' my mind Cause you wrapped your arms around me and you pressed your lips to mine You sent my head a spinnin just like a tilt-a-whirl That's when I knew you were my kind of girl You sent my head a spinning just like a tilt-a-whirl That's when I knew you were my kind of girl (My kind my kind of girl my kind my kind of girl)
