Lyrics

[Verse 1]
She like the spotlight, dancin' in it all night
Just take a number 'cause you're standin' in a long line
I took my best shot and threw my hands to the sky
Yeah, yeah, yeah
[PreChorus]
Seen some girls overrated, beautiful and jaded
On a scale of one to ten, she more like an eighty
She's a jackpot, lottery, rainbow, and a pot of gold
So I let her know
[Chorus]
I think a girl like you
Is perfect for a guy like me
(Think a girl, think a girl like you)
I bet a girl like you
Could make me wanna lose my sleep, ayy
(Think a girl, think a girl like you)
We'd be hotter than the summer
Cooler than December
So cool, baby, cool, baby, woo, baby, woo
I think a girl like you
Is perfect for a guy like me
(Think a girl, think a girl like you)
[Verse 2]
Thought I was good, but, damn, you make me better (You make me better)
I needed spice and you that chili pepper like (You that chili)
Ooh, outta control, aw, baby (Outta control)
[PreChorus]
Seen some girls overrated, beautiful and jaded
On a scale of one to ten, you more like an eighty
Can't believe all the wrongs that I did just to get it right
Alright?
[Chorus]
I think a girl like you
Is perfect for a guy like me
(Think a girl, think a girl like you)
I bet a girl like you
Could make me wanna lose my sleep, ayy
(Think a girl, think a girl like you)
We'd be hotter than the summer
Cooler than December
So cool, baby, cool, baby, woo, baby, woo
I think a girl like you
Is perfect for a guy like me
(Think a girl, think a girl like you)
(Think a girl, think a girl like you)
(Think a girl, think a girl like you)
[Chorus]
I think a girl like you
Is perfect for a guy like me
(Think a girl, think a girl like you)
I bet a girl like you
Could make me wanna lose my sleep, ayy
(Think a girl, think a girl like you)
We'd be hotter than the summer
Cooler than December
So cool, baby, cool, baby, woo, baby, woo
I think a girl like you
Is perfect for a guy like me
(Think a girl, think a girl like you)
