I used to search for the ideal girl
|
The perfect little prettyness
|
I used to search for the ideal world
|
But frankly think it don't exist
|
So many times I get so afraid
|
So many ways I felt so betrayed
|
We get together on a Saturday night
|
And watch the whole world cave in
|
|
Little girl I wanna know
|
What you look for in a man
|
Is he tall, tough and handsome
|
With a continental teint
|
|
I just wanna be around
|
When the big world hits the ground
|
I don't wanna make a sound
|
When the sky comes tumblin'
|
Sky comes tumblin' down
|
|
I used to worry about the job that I had
|
I barely made enough to survive
|
Oh man I'm worried about the life that I live
|
Sometimes I barely made it home alive
|
But now I don't need to worry
|
There's no need to rush there's no need to hurry
|
You don't need a new job you don't need a new wife
|
You don't need to go far in your life
|
|
Little girl I wanna know
|
What you look for in a man
|
Does he have a lot of money
|
Even more than you can spend
|
|
I just wanna be around
|
When the big world hits the ground
|
I don't wanna make a sound
|
When the sky comes tumblin'
|
Sky comes tumblin' down
|
|
I used to play in a dead end band
|
I always ended up on my own
|
But now I play in a skeleton band
|
Nothing but skin and bones
|
|
Oh no I don't need sedation
|
I got my daily dose of radiation
|
We get together on a Saturday night
|
And watch each other's hair fall out
|
|
Little girl I wanna know
|
What you look for in a man
|
Does he sell a lot of records
|
With his Californian band
|
|
I just wanna be around
|
When the big world hits the ground
|
I don't wanna make a sound
|
When the sky comes tumblin'
|
Sky comes tumblin' down
|
