Lyrics:
“I Ain’t Never Seen No One Like You”
Seen lots of folks and lots of faces
Even settled down a time or two
I’ve worked the frams I’ve been to town
Guess you could say I’ve been around
But I ain’t never seen no one like you[Chorus:]
I can tell by your smile you don’t believe a word I say
You’re thinkin’ I’ll just stay a while then be on my way
But girl I tthink it’s fair to warn ya I’ve done been
To California
I ain’t never seen no one like you
I knew a girl in Mississippi
Had twenty different ways to kiss me
Never found a thing she couldn’t do
Hey I even knew some twins in Denver
Stayed with them one cold December
I ain’t never seen no one like you
[Chorus]
East to west north to south
You’re the very best girl there ain’t no doubt
I’m tellin’ you you’re really somethin’
The way you got my heart a jumpin’
I ain’t never seen no one like you
[Chorus]
Hey girl I think it’s fair to warn ya I’ve done been
To California
But I ain’t never seen no one like you
