AWell I don't want just a Egirl to Aball alright
AWhat I want is a girl Ethat I Acare about
AOr I want nothing at all.E  A  
Alright
 (and so on . . . )
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.
Well I don't want some cocaine sniffing triumph 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
28 misguided souls combined 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
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
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.
Alright gentlemen.
