I used to search for the ideal girl The perfect little prettyness 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 teint 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 Oh 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 There's 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 Does he have a lot of money 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
