I NEED A LOVER

I need a lover that won't drive me crazy
I need a lover that won't drive me crazy
I need a lover that won't drive me crazy
Some girl that knows the meaning of a
Hey hit the highway
Well I've been walkin' the streets 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**
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 a
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 askin' to be loved or be forgiven
I just can't face shakin' in this bedroom
One more night alone(*Repeat)(**Repeat)
You bet cha

Heard this on Arrow 94 last night, driving down Lee Highway past the State Theater, just like in high school, cranked up the volume like the scene in the Wayne's World movie in which the guys are listening to Bohemian Rhapsody. The difference is it's my own car, not my parents'. I have not quit my job but I AM back in school and hope I won't have to fake shakin' alone for much longer. Hope springs eternal.
