I met her somewhere in the corner of my eye
E A D E
I keep her somehow in the back of my mind
E A D E
It wasn't long ago I tried to show her my affection
E A D E
She turned, looked at me, and ran in the other direction
[chorus:]
E A D E
I want love, I want drugs, I want sex and affection
E A D E
I want everyone in this room here to look in my direction
E A D E
I want a man with lips just like Mick Jagger

Rod Stewart's hair, and Keith Richards' stagger

That's what girls want
E A D E
That's what girls want
E A D C G Emin
That's what girls want
So I took her back home to my studio apartment
And that's where I told her exactly what my heart meant
I started to think, she threw it back in my face
I poured her a drink she said let's get out of this place

She came around and moved in three weeks later
We got a one room shack just north of the equator
With a giant stereo and a manic TV
Every once in a while she says these things to me
[chorus... repeat and fade]
