[Chorus]
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
[Verse 1]
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
Nothing at all
[Verse 2]
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
[Break]
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"
[Chorus]
'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
[Chorus]
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
Alright, gentlemen
