This was so refreshing to hear Kevin do something with lower notes, he is such a good singer and gotten so much better over the years and this suited his voice so well.

Its autotuned.

Excuse me🕺 Lyrics. I've never known a girl like you before, Now just like in a song from days of yore, Here you come a-knock knocking on my door, Well I've never met a girl like you before. You give me just a taste so I want more, Now my hands are bleeding and my knees are raw, 'Cause now you got me crawling, crawling, on the floor. And I've never known a girl like you before. You made me acknowledge the devil in me I hope to God I'm talking metaphorically, Hope that I'm talking alegorically, Know that I'm talking about the way I feel And I've never known a girl like you before. Never, never, never, never Never known a girl like you before This old town's changed so much. Don't feel like I belong, Too many protest singers, Not enough protest songs. And now you've come along, Yes you've come along, And I've never met a girl like you before.
