Alan Menken
A Guy Like You (Remastered 2021)
[HUGO]
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 every day
You've got a look
That's all your own, kid
Could there be two...?
[VICTOR & LAVERNE]
Like you?
[ALL]
No way!
[HUGO]
Those other guys
That she could dangle
All look the same
From every boring point of view!
You're a surprise
From every angle
Mon Dieu above
She's gotta love a guy like you
[VICTOR]
A guy like you
Gets extra credit
Because it's true
You've got a certain something more!
[HUGO]
You're aces, kid
[LAVERNE]
You see that face
You don't forget it
[VICTOR & LAVERNE]
Want something new?
[HUGO]
That's you
[ALL]
For sure!
[LAVERNE]
We all have gaped
At some Adonis
[VICTOR]
But then we crave a meal
More nourishing to chew
[HUGO]
And since you've shaped
Like a croissant is
[ALL]
No question of
She's gotta love
A guy like you!
[LAVERNE]
Call me a hopeless romatic
But Quasi, I feel it
[VICTOR]
She wants you so, any moment
She'll walk through that door
[ALL]
For—
[HUGO]
A guy so swell
With all you bring her
A fool could tell
It's why she fell
For you-know-who!
[VICTOR & LAVERNE]
A guy like you
I tell you Quasi
There never was
Another, was he?
From king to serf
To the bourgeoisie
We notice every string there!
[HUGO]
You ring the bell
[ALL]
You're the bell ringer!
When she wants ooh-la-la
Then she wants you-la-la
She will discover, guy
You're one heck of a guy
Who wouldn't love a guy
Like you?
[HUGO]
You got a lot
[VICTOR]
The rest have not
[HUGO]
So she's gotta love
A guy like...
[ALL]
... you!
