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
Hey, hit the highway
I've been walking the streets up and down
Racing through the human jungle at night
I'm so confused, my mind is indifferent
Hey, I'm so weak won't somebody shut off the light
Electricity runs through the video
As I watch 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
Hey, hit the highway
Well, I'm not wiped out of this poolroom life I'm living
Gonna quit this job, go to school, or head back home
Well I'm not asking to be loved or be forgiven
I just can't face shaken in this bedroom one night alone
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
Hey, hit the highway
