Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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 who knows the meaning of, uh, "Hey, hit the highway"
[Verse 3]
Well, I've been walkin' the streets in the evenin'
Racin' through this human jungle at night
I'm so confused, my mind's indifferent
Hey, I'm so weak, won't someone shut off the light?
[Verse 4]
Electricity runs through the video
And I watch it from this hole I call home
And all the stonies are dancin' to the radio
I got the world callin' me tonight on the phone
[Verse 5]
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 who knows the meaning of, uh, "Hey, hit the highway"
[Verse 6]
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 askin' to be loved or be forgiven
Hey, I just can't face shakin' in this bedroom one more night alone
[Verse 7]
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 who knows the meaning of, uh, "Hey, hit the highway"
[Verse 8]
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
[Verse 9]
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 who knows the meaning of, uh, "Hey, hit the highway"
