Sweet Li'l Thing

Eels

The feeling of understanding is very rare

For someone like me it's hard to find

Somebody to care

She's got a way about her

Changes everything

She's got a way about her

She's my sweet li'l thing

Making love with her indie rock

Playing on her stereo

Holding hands going down the road

When she drives me home

She's got a magic about her

Makes me wanna sing

She's got a magic about her

She's my sweet li'l thing

Spent the day laying in her bed

My nose against hers

Later we went for a drive

Didn't know where we were

Man i never felt so alive

Nobody gets the girl

But baby i do

Nobody gets me either

But she sees through

She's got a glow around her

Shines on everything

She's got a glow around her

She's my sweet li'l thing
