Such a Way - Stephen Kellogg

The girls in California, they all look the same to me

The way they take for granted living by the sea

They can be your best friends if you don’t expect too much

The girls in California, well they all believe in love

I met this girl named Liz in a bar just south of here

She moved to New York City so that she could disappear

I told her she was beautiful and she thanked me for the words

I will never understand just how he got through to her

She moves in such a way

That people fall in love with her every single day

I can’t say I’m immune, though I’ve been trying to find you

And I know she’s out there somewhere today

The woman down the street from me, she’s got this daughter 20 years

With a Sunkist smile that the winter won’t go near

Her hips could shake a mountain and her lips could start a fire

And just like Nabokov, all these men walk by and as they do, they conspire

She moves in such a way

That people fall in love with her every single day

I can’t say I’m immune, though I’ve been trying to cut through

All this lust and all this love in me

Then there’s this girl from Greenwich, she stopped me in my tracks

She tells me when I’m wrong and she always makes me laugh

And of all the pretty women that I see everyday

She’s the only who moves in such a way

She moves in such a way

That I still fall in love with her every single day

I can’t say I’m immune, though I’ve been trying to show you

That you could have my heart, you could take my heart today

Darlin' you could have my heart, you could just take my heart away

Then she comes and she lifts me up every single day
