Lyrics

I thought they didn't make women like you anymore Kindness in spades, patience galore Elegant ways but ready for war I thought they didn't make women like you anymore You're modest enough to not strut your stuff But confident enough to know you got it You don't need someone's validations Couldn't care less who's offering I thought they didn't make women like you anymore All of these princesses are such a bore You're a queen and you're the girl next door I thought they didn't make women like you anymore You have a perseverance and follow through To build your career if you choose You understand compromise, jealousy too Taught me about blessings and baby blues Oh, until I met you I searched this place For someone with class, conviction, and grace I thought it impossible, it couldn't be discovered Like a car full of pretty girls that don't hate each other You know how men think We rarely move past appraising a woman's appearance We judge as we may, we dig our own graves Still I think it's alright to say this Oh, you look good in a T-shirt, All Stars, and jeans Look good all done up in make-up and bling Look good in pajamas and sharp tailored suits Look good in dresses and cowboy boots I thought they didn't make women like you anymore Passion for days, compassion galore I am amazed and grateful to God and your mother for women like you You, you, you, hmm
