The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I need a lover that won't drive me crazy

I need a lover that won't drive me mad

I need a lover that won't drive me crazy

I need a lover that won't drive me crazy

Someone to thrill me, and then go away

I need a lover that won't drive me crazy

Someone that knows the meaning of ah - hey hit the highway

Well I've been walking the streets in the evening

Racing through this human jungle at night

I'm so confused, my mind is indifferent

Hey - I'm so weak, won't someone shut out that light

Electricity runs thru the video

And I watch from this hole I call home

And all the stonies that are dancin' to the radio

I got the world calling me tonight on the phone

I need a lover that won't drive me crazy

I need a lover that won't drive me mad

I need a lover that won't drive me crazy

Someone that knows the meaning of ah - hey hit the highway

Well I'm not wiped out by this poolroom life I'm livin'

But I'm gonna quit my job, and go to school, and head back home

Now I'm not asking to be loved or be forgiven

Hey - I just can't face shakin' in this bedroom one more night alone

I need a lover that won't drive me crazy

I need a lover that won't drive me mad

I need a lover that won't drive me crazy

Someone that knows the meaning of ah - hey hit the highway

I need a lover that won't drive me crazy

Someone to thrill me, and then go away

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 mad

I need a lover that won't drive me crazy

Someone that knows the meaning of ah - hey hit the highway
