In Love With A Girl

"In Love with a Girl" is a song recorded by American singer Gavin DeGraw. It is officially confirmed as the lead single from DeGraw's eponymous second studio album, released on February 5, 2008. The song received many positive reactions. Katie Hasty from Billboard commented: ""In Love With a Girl" opens with heavily distorted guitars as minor chords roll through, but be not deceived: Lyrically, the track is happy, with the 30-year-old songwriter heralding a girl that "understands." One flaw beleaguers DeGraw's normally dependable croon: the unnecessary presence of auto-tuning, which is mightily distracting. Beyond that, "Girl" is a rocking home run in the same ballpark as "I Don't Want to Be." The chorus is buoyant, backed with idyllic drum tracks alongside, driving each word-heavy verse, as DeGraw's snappy piano lines may have fans playing, heaven forbid, air piano."

[Verse 1] So many people gonna say that they want you To try to get you thinking they really care But there's nothing like the warmth of the one Who has put in the time and you know is gonna be there Back your border when she knows someone crossed it Don't let nobody put you down, who you're with Take the pain of protecting your name From the crutch to the cane to the highwire [Chorus] I'm in love with a girl who knows me better Fell for the woman just when I met her Took my sweet time when I was bitter Someone understands And she knows how to treat a fella right Give me that feeling every night Wants to make love when I wanna fight Now someone understand me I'm in love with a girl (I'm in love with) I'm in love with a girl (I'm in love with) [Verse 2] Out the many broken backdoors and windows Through the valley of the love of the lost Is a hole that is cut through the soul falling down From the thrones without any innuendos But you found it a piece for the moment The moment was over in time Then it's gone, the hit and run The drifters one has a short life [Chorus] I'm in love with a girl who knows me better Fell for the woman just when I met her Took my sweet time when I was bitter Someone understands And she knows how to treat a fella right Give me that feeling every night Wants to make love when I wanna fight Now someone understand me I'm in love with a girl (I'm in love with) I'm in love with a girl (I'm in love with) [Bridge] I wanna tell you what you do to think you practice what you preach Now I know there's nothing we can't reach 'Cause the heart can't erase once it finds a place to be warm and welcome To be held in shelter [Chorus] I'm in love with a girl who knows me better Fell for the woman just when I met her Took my sweet time when I was bitter Someone understands And she knows how to treat a fella right Give me that feeling every night Wants to make love when I wanna fight Now someone understand me I'm in love with a girl (I'm in love with) I'm in love with a girl (I'm in love with) I'm in love with a girl (I'm in love with) [Outro] Who knows me better Wants to make love when I wanna fight Now someone understand me
