Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The girl has got the torch
What she got is a little somethin' (Oh, yeah)
That kinda girl, Maxi Priest just make them know, girl!
[Verse 2]
She's the kind of woman who lets you know
When she knows what she wants she won't let go
Takes you to a place of your fantasy
Walks you to the door but she holds the key
[Verse 3]
That girl, ooh, that kind of girl
(That's the kind of lover)
That girl, ooh, that kind of girl
Smooth type of girl
[Verse 4]
No matter who you are or what you do
She knows how to take in everything you do
She can make you hot when it's cold outside
Take you on a high, even make you fly
[Verse 5]
That girl, ooh, that kind of girl
(That's the kind of lover)
That girl, ooh, that kind of girl
[Verse 6]
Mmh, she's outspoken, I'm heartbroken
Just the kind of girl to keep my love life rollin'
She's outspoken, I'm heartbroken
Just the kind of girl to keep my, that, that, that
Girl to make you break your silence and speak
Just a glimpse upon the silhouette, my knees get weak, mm-mm
Baby, baby, so unique
A reggae-matic lover, love her, make her life complete
[Verse 7]
That girl, ooh, that kind of girl
That kind of lovin'
That girl, ooh, that kind of girl
Say what? Say what?
[Verse 8]
She's the kind of woman who knows the street
And even under pressure she's smooth and sweet (Mmh, hmm!)
No complications, just attitude
Believe in what she got since she won't get used
[Verse 9]
That girl, ooh, that kind of girl
That's the kind of lover
That girl, ooh, that kind of girl
[Verse 10]
Well, I'm weak to her touch, I wanna rub her till her blush
Lovestruck, that girl, I got an instant crush
You can call me a lush, infatuation or just lust
The girl possess the stuff to make the man deaf, ooh, ah
[Verse 11]
Holy Moses, Lord, it coulda been me
Caught up in this trap I didn't wanna be (I know!)
Dyin' a fool I was one step ahead (Yeah!)
I had to let go 'cause I was over my head
[Verse 12]
That girl, ooh, that kind of girl
That's the kind of lover
That girl, ooh, that kind of girl
But she's a cocky kind of girl
That girl, ooh, (I gotta let her know) that kind of girl
That's the kind of lover
That girl, ooh, (I let her know) that kind of girl
That's the kind of girl
[Verse 13]
Said, she's outspoken, I'm heartbroken
Just the kind of girl to keep my love life flowin'
She's outspoken, I'm heartbroken
She's the kind of girl to keep my, that, that girl
[Verse 14]
That girl, ooh, (I gotta let her know) that kind of girl
She's the kind of girl that captivates your soul
That girl, ooh, that kind of girl
A rude girl type o' lover, cha
That girl, ooh, that kind of girl
Shaggy and Maxi Priest definitely bring girls to the case
That girl, (For that girl) ooh, that kind of girl
