Embed: 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 Parker 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.

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.


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 thinking you were reading my mind,
'cause you wrapped your arms around me
and you pressed your lips to mine.
You set my head spinning just like a tilt-a-whirl,
that's when I knew you were my kind of girl.

You set my head a-spinnin' just like a tilt-a-whirl,
that's when I knew you were my kind of girl.Lyrics provided by TANCODEhttp://lyricsever.com/" readonly=""/>

My Kind of Girl Lyrics

When I saw you buying 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 Parker 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.

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.


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 thinking you were reading my mind,
'cause you wrapped your arms around me
and you pressed your lips to mine.
You set my head spinning just like a tilt-a-whirl,
that's when I knew you were my kind of girl.

You set my head a-spinnin' just like a tilt-a-whirl,
that's when I knew you were my kind of girl.

Collin Raye was born Aug. 22, 1960, in DeQueen, AR, with the name Floyd Collin Wray. Both of his parents were musical, and his mother, Lois Wray, was a regionally popular performer in East Texas who opened shows for Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis and Carl Perkins in the 1950s. At 7, Raye was onstage with her performing. At 13, he and his older brother Scott formed The Wray Brothers and performed in the roadhouses of the Lone Star State. They soon became headliners in Portland, OR, and in the casinos of Reno, NV.

Raye first attracted Nashville's attention as the lead vocalist on a string of independent singles in the 1980s. Billed as The Wrays, the act released a couple of singles on Mercury Records in the mid-80s before breaking up. Epic Records signed Raye as a solo act in 1990. A year later, the nostalgic ballad Love, Me hit No. 1, and by 2000, he charted 21 Top 10 hits for Epic. His first four studio albums, as well as his Greatest Hits, have been certified platinum. His best-known hits include Little Rock, about a recovering alcoholic, and I Think About You, about watching his teenage daughter grow up. Read more on Last.fm.
