A song that had been kicking around for years, but the time was never right. When she was recording her backing vocals, Pam was appalled by the lyrics 'WHAT inspired you to write this?!?!'
Being a weirdo, I guess.
lyrics
Can I call you my girlfriend
I'd like to call you my girlfriend
but I don't have what it takes
to win your love
I wrote you twenty-five letters
I guess i should have known better
now your friends are laughing at me
from above
A girl like you is awfully hard to find
I really would like to know you
There's lots of things I could show you
Don't you know there's more to me
than meets the eye
But I know you detest me
you'd like to see them arrest me
I feel so much for you inside
that I could die
A girl like you is awfully hard to find
There's a man who lives inside my head
and he wants to know your name
He asks about you while I sleep and
he wants to play a game
but oh, I will protect you
I won't let him get through
Whatever else may happen now I hope you know
how much I really love you
I thought that I was much stronger
I thought that I would last longer
but now I'm looking through his eyes
and feeling ill
I feel so bad for your family
so innocent and so happy
until they met me here tonight
with time to kill
A girl like you is awfully hard to find
