The Modern Lovers - Someone I Care About Lyrics

The Modern Lovers Lyrics

"Someone I Care About"

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
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

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
