A Guy Like You Lyrics
A Guy Like You Song Lyrics
Hugo:
Paris, the city of lovers
Is glowing this evening
True, that's because it's on fire
But still, there's "l'amour"
Somewhere out there in the night
Her Heart is also alight
And I know the guy she just might
Be burning for
A guy like you
She's never known, kid
A guy like you
A girl does not meet ev'ry day
You've got a look
That's all your own, kid
Could there be two?
Victor and Laverne:
Like you?
All Three:
No way!
Hugo:
Those other guys
That she could dangle
All look the same
From ev'ry boring point of view
You're a surprise
From ev'ry angle
Mon Dieu above
She's gotta love
A guy like you
Victor:
A guy like you
Gets extra credit
Because it's true
You've got a certain some thing more
Hugo:
You're aces, kid
Laverne:
You see that face
You don't forget it
Victor and Laverne:
Want something new?
Hugo:
That's you
All Three:
For sure!
Laverne:
We all have gaped
At some Adonis
Victor:
But then we crave a meal
More nourishing to chew
Hugo:
And since you've shaped
Like a croissant is
All Three:
No question of
She's gotta love
A guy like you!
Laverne:
Call me a hopeless romatic
But Quasi, I feel it
Victor:
She wants you so
Any moment she'll walk through that door
All Three:
For
Hugo:
A guy so swell
Victor and Laverne:
A guy like you
Hugo:
With all you bring her
Victor and Laverne:
I tell you Quasi
Hugo:
A fool could tell
Victor and Laverne:
There never was
Hugo:
It's why she fell
Victor and Laverne:
Another, was he?
Hugo:
For you-know-who
Victor and Laverne:
From king to serf
To the bourgeoisie
Hugo:
You ring the bell
Victor and Laverne:
They're all a second-stringer
All Three:
You're the bell ringer!
When she wants oo-la-la
Then she wants you la-la
She will discover, guy
You're one heckuva guy
Who wouldn't love a guy
Like you?
Hugo:
You got a lot
The rest have not
So she's gotta love
A guy like you!
