I used to search for the ideal girl
The perfect little prettiness
I used to search for the ideal world

But frankly think it don't exist

So many times, I get so afraid

So many ways, I felt so betrayed
We get together on a Saturday night
And watch the whole world cave in


Little girl, I wanna know
What you look for in a man

Is he tall, tough and handsome
With a continental taint?


I just wanna be around
When the big world hits the ground
I don't wanna make a sound

When the sky comes tumblin'
Sky comes tumblin' down


I used to worry about the job that I had
I barely made enough to survive
But man, I'm worried about the life that I live

Sometimes I barely made it home alive

But now I don't need to worry

No need to rush, there's no need to hurry
You don't need a new job, you don't need a new wife
You don't need to go far in your life


Little girl, I wanna know
What you look for in a man

Even more than you can spend?

I just wanna be around

When the big world hits the ground
I don't wanna make a sound
When the sky comes tumblin'

Sky comes tumblin' down

I used to play in a dead end band

I always ended up on my own
But now I play in a skeleton band
Nothing but skin and bones


Oh no, I don't need sedation
I got my daily dose of radiation

We get together on a Saturday night
And watch each other's hair fall out


Little girl, I wanna know
What you look for in a man
Does he sell a lot of records

With his Californian band?

I just wanna be around

When the big world hits the ground
I don't wanna make a sound
When the sky comes tumblin'

Sky comes tumblin' down

I don't wanna make a sound

When the sky comes tumblin' down
I just wanna be around
When the big world hits the ground


I don't wanna make a sound
When the sky comes tumblin' down

I just wanna be around
