about

Pretty self explanatory. hahahaha ;-)

lyrics

You're not a short guy I'm just a tall girl,
So we're never ever gonna fit    
If you're lookin for a companion there's no way I could be it

You may have money, You may be ripped,
But if we can't stand lip to lip
Then I'll be honest. My height is high.
I wanna man thats at least eye to eye

You're quite sufficient You're down-right grand
But you cannot hold my hand
If you wear heels than how can I?
It'd be better if we don't even try

I'm not too picky, I'm just aware,
that when you're playin with my hair
The need for tip-toes, when I wear flats.
My dear there's something wrong with that

The lament of the long legs,
of the arms that could be wings  
Here's her story so often lonely,
with her head in the clouds she sings

God Made Me Tall, But its no curse.
When lookin at it, it could be worse
God Made Me Tall to hit my head,
And date short men til I'm dead.

You see its not you, its really me.
Its the way life must be
Forced to look downwards and you look up.
My dear its just by chance or luck

That when I stood to give you hugs
your face was buried in my jugs
And then its awkward and downright weird.
Oh yes the very thing I feared

The greatest men I always find
are never one of my own kind.

God Made Me Tall, But its no curse.
When lookin at it, it could be worse
God Made Me Tall to hit my head & date short men. 
oh date short men til I'm dead.
