MEN LIKE THAT


I was off to meet the girls and was running late
Stupid orange cones on the interstate
Forty miles under what I usually drive
Knocked a couple over when I turned too wide

Almost made it to the ramp when he smiled at me
Left a trail of rubber burning at least twenty feet
Went over the embankment slammed into a van
He vaulted the divider like superman

Looked in the broken window what can I say
I smiled like a fool and fainted dead away
I woke up to the pain of pounding in my head
Saw him standing there and figured I was dead

~~~*Chorus*~~~
Cause men like that
You just don’t see
Unless they’re on the cover of a magazine
Men like that
Don’t rescue me
They only save the beauties on the TV screen
I am alive
Not a scratch on me
And that little piece of Heaven does not have wings
I rang the bell
Need the doctor fast
Cause men like that can surely cause a heart attack
~~*~~

I whispered thank you God when he took my hand
I wasn't wrong when I compared him to superman
He had jet-black hair and deep blue eyes
An easy six-footer with a killer smile

He stayed until they told me that I could go
And said lean on me and I’ll drive you home
Somebody better pinch me and wake me up
If I’m not dead…I just fell in love

~~~*Chorus*~~~
Cause men like that
You just don’t see
Unless they’re on the cover of a magazine
Men like that
Don’t rescue me
They only save the beauties on the TV screen
I am alive
Not a scratch on me
And that little piece of Heaven does not have wings
I rang the bell
Need the doctor fast
Cause men like that can surely cause a heart attack
~~*~~

I’m off to meet the girls…we’re going to the fair
Got a handsome new driver to take me there
Yeah it’s been a couple years, and my car’s repaired
I just let him drive so I can sit and stare…

Cause men like that
You just don’t see…
