Song Lyrics

Well, I don't want just a girl to fool around with
Well, I don't want just a girl to ball, alright
What I want is a girl that I care about, or I
Want nothing at all
Nothing at all, alright

Well, I won't pretend I like a girl if I really don't
And act like she's great when she makes me feel appalled
All I want is a girl that I care about or I
Want nothing at all
Oh, nothing at all

Well, I don't want some cocaine-sniffing tramp in the bar
Well, I don't want a triumph in the car
I don't want to make a rich girl crawl
What I want is a girl that I care about or I
Want no one at all

Alright, listen to this now

Picture this, I'm walking with my girlfriend
Twenty-eight misguided souls combine, say "We're moving in!"
There's a certain kind of girl
That you care about so much
You say "I don't care what you guys do to me
But her, don't touch!"

'Cause I don't want just a girl to fool around with
Well, I don't want just a girl to ball
What I want is a girl that I care about or I
Want nothing at all
Oh, alright

Well, I don't want a girl to fool around with, no
And I don't want just a girl to ball, no
What I want is a girl that I care about or I
Want nothing at all
Oh, alright, gentlemen!
