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…
