Lyrics: A Guy Like You

Music by Alan Menken and Stephen Schwartz

Paris, the city of lovers
Is glowing this evening
True, that's because it's on fire
But still, there's "l'amour"
Somewhere out there in the night
Her Heart is also alight
And I know the guy she just might
Be burning for

A guy like you
She's never known, kid
A guy like you
A girl does not meet ev'ry day
You've got a look
That's all your own, kid
Could there be two?

Like you?
No way!

Those other guys
That she could dangle
All look the same
From ev'ry boring point of view
You're a surprise
From ev'ry angle
Mon Dieu above
She's gotta love
A guy like you

A guy like you
Gets extra credit
Because it's true
You've got a certain some thing more

You're aces, kid
You see that face
You don't forget it
Want something new?
That's you
For sure!
We all have gaped

At some Adonis
But then we crave a meal
More nourishing to chew
And since you've shaped
Like a croissant is
No question of
She's gotta love
A guy like you!

Call me a hopeless romatic
But Quasi, I feel it
She wants you so
Any moment she'll walk through that door
For...
A guy so swell
A guy like you
With all you bring her-
I tell you Quasi-
-A fool could tell
There never was
-It's why she fell
Another, was he?
For you-know-who
From king to serf
To the bourgeoisie
You ring the bell
They're all a second-stringer

You're the bell ringer!
When she wants oo-la-la
Then she wants you la-la
She will discover, guy
You're one heckuva guy
Who wouldn't love a guy
Like you?

You got a lot
The rest have not
So she's gotta love
A guy like you!
