A Guy Like You is a song featured in Disney's 1996, feature film, The Hunchback of Notre Dame. It is the gargoyles' chance to sing, assuring Quasimodo that Esmeralda loves him in the same way he loves her in a fun, Broadway-style number. Placing a comedic song after a dark, intense scene such as "Hellfire" is a common technique allowing the audience to release tension in an appropriate time, thus allowing the climax to be appropriately dramatic.
Lyrics
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 a light
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 ev'ry day
You've got a look
That's all your own, kid
Could there be two?
Victor and Laverne: Like you?
All Three: No way!
Hugo: Those other guys
That she could dangle
All look the same
From ev'ry boring point of view
You're a surprise
From ev'ry 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 some thing more
Hugo: You're aces, kid
Laverne: You see that face
You don't forget it
Victor and Laverne: Want something new?
Hugo: That's you
All Three: 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 Three: 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 Three: For
Hugo: A guy so swell
Victor and Laverne: A guy like you
Hugo: With all you bring her
Victor and Laverne: I tell you Quasi
Hugo: A fool could tell
Victor and Laverne: There never was
Hugo: It's why she fell
Victor and Laverne: Another, was he?
Hugo: For you-know-who
Victor and Laverne: From king to serf
To the bourgeoisie
Hugo: You ring the bell
Victor and Laverne: They're all a second-stringer
All Three: You're the bell ringer!
When she wants oo-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
The rest have not
So she's gotta love
A guy like you!
