A Good Girl
Saturday night stood up again: moon like a prison spotlight; I just want a good girl who understands me.

Lyrics
You faked a smile and said you loved me, Crossed your arms, So I couldn't see That in your heart there's something evil, Something evil, Yeah. The moon was on ya like a prison spotlight, You met some guy, And in the black night. Tossed me aside like so many others, So many others, Yeah. Here I stand dreaming of, Someone who wouldn't make life so rough. I just want a good girl, Do I have to search the whole world, To get my hands on such a simple thing. Someone who understands me, Who tries her best to see, Just what a little love can really bring. But instead I'm stuck stood up, Another Saturday night gone to waste. I just want a good girl, Do I have to search the whole world, To get my hands on such a simple thing. The party's done and I'm still pacing, My eyes are shut, And my mind is racing. I guess that I don't choose them wisely, Choose them wisely, Yeah. Here I stand dreaming of, Someone who wouldn't make life so rough. I just want a good girl, Do I have to search the whole world, To get my hands on such a simple thing. Someone who understands me, Who tries her best to see, Just what a little love can really bring. But instead I'm stuck stood up, Another Saturday night gone to waste. I just want a good girl, Do I have to search the whole world, To get my hands on such a simple thing. I'm gonna keep going out, Cause I don't got no doubt, That there's somebody out there hearing my plea. Just gimme some time, Cause I'm sure that I'll find, Someone who actually understands me. I just want a good girl, Do I have to search the whole world, To get my hands on such a simple thing. Someone who understands me, Who tries her best to see, Just what a little love can really bring. But instead I'm stuck stood up, Another Saturday night gone to waste. I just want a good girl, Do I have to search the whole world, To get my hands on such a simple thing.
