The origin story of this tale goes back to when singer Grace McMahon was on Tinder busily swiping left. While pondering all things a guy has to be before she will go on a date with them, she eventually decided against listing all the materialistic reasons people usually consider and decided to focus on finding a really great person in general. “Delightful, mindful, no doubt insightful, makes my heart beat”. When debuting the new song during the groups successful run at 2021’s Cork Jazz Festival Grace told crowds "I used to obsess over all the millions of things a guy has to be, then when I stopped obsessing about it, I found him… and I married him".
lyrics
I want a guy like you X4
Delightful mindful no doubt insightful
Makes my heart beat
His kissing and im wishing his always giving
As he turns up the heat
You and his world around him. Safe with his arms around you
Gotta be him x2
I want a guy like you X4
Flawless his hoest totally modest
Magic in his eyes
Devotion emotion a little outspoken
He's got me hypnotized
You and his world around him. Safe with his arms around you
Gotta be him x2
I want a guy like you X4
Tasteful playful genuine faithful
Gotta do it so right
Handsome random sings his own antheum
Keeps it going all night
You and his world around him. Safe with his arms around you
Gotta be him x2
I want a guy like you X4
You and his world around him. Safe with his arms around you
Gotta be Gotta be Gotta be a guy like you X4
Solo
I want a guy like you X4
