Some girl that knows the meaning of, hey, hit the highway

I've been walking the streets and up and down,
Racing through the human jungles at night
I'm so confused, my mind is indifferent
Hey, I'm so weak, won't somebody shut off that light

Electricity runs through the video
And I watch it from this hole I call home
All the stony's are dancin' to the radio
And I got the world calling me up here tonight on the phone

Chorus 2:
I need a lover that won't drive me crazy
Some girl to thrill me and then go away
I need a lover that won't drive me crazy
Some girl that knows the meaning of, hey, hit the highway

Well, I'm not wiped out by this poolroom life I'm living
I’m gonna quit this job, go to school or head back home
and I'm not asking to be loved or be forgiven
Hey, I just can't face shakin' in this bedroom one more night alone
