This is a filk based on "A Girl Like You", a 1994 hit song by Edwyn Collins. The rewritten text is what Saori Chiba of "Hōrō Musuko" (by Takako Shimura) sings to herself after the events of chapters 6 and 7, while thinking about Shūichi Nitori and everything that has happened.
I think my version of the lyrics came out pretty nice, but I cannot publish it on Fanfiction.net just like that. First I should request adding a subcategory for HM and at least two characters to their database, and I am not familiar with the procedure.
All help, and of course grammar and vocabulary corrections, are welcome.
To those not familiar with the story:

A Boy Like Shū
I've never known a boy like Shū before
Now he can't hide the way he's "either/or"
Found myself a knockin', knockin' on his door
And I've never met a boy like Shū before
He gave me just a taste so I want more
I wish I could have sewn him what he wore
Now I'm walkin', walkin' home, let the rain just pour
And I've never known a boy like Shū before
He's made me acknowledge the devil in me
I acted out my anger historically
That burns my conscience so horribly
And I only talk to God 'bout the way I feel
And I've never known a boy like Shū before
Never, never, never, never
Never known a boy like Shū before
Our schoolyard's just the same
Never felt like I belong
Too many smilin' faces
Not enough gloomy songs
But now Shū's come along
Yes Shū's come along
And I've never met a girl like Shū before
