"I Wanna Know Girls"

I wanna know girls, don't want to know men;
I'm already stuck inside the head of one of them.
And I'm so loosely defined;
I wanna draw your outlines,
On a fresh yard of snow
The burning leaf held by the stem.

I wanna know girls, yeah, every one I can.
And mostly I'm not stupid, but I love what I can learn from them.
And sometimes knowledge is a shock,
Don't push stuff by sharing rocks.
You are my only sweetness and you know it
When you let yourself see it,
That vibrating halo of tin.

And let yourself be known,
Let yourself be known.
Don't use words, we're never alone,
No, we're never alone.
And let yourself be known,
Yeah, let yourself be known.
We don't need words, we're never alone,
No, we're never alone.

I wanna know girls that give me hope,
That float by through the air.
I love your feet and your legs,
And everything going up from there.
I was one thing I can always be had,
But real love's not up for grabs.
You know, men ruin everything, it's true;
But you and I, we can't be spoiled so let's be fair.

I wanna know girls, but only love one.
You're my source of energy;
Hook a panel up to me,
And shine down on me like the sun.
Now, you and your friends say love is blind,
But I think it's easy and kind.
Or anyhow it could be
You buzzed me like it would be;
You think we're in the movies,
But movies never move me.
Don't think that you can lose me,
'Cause love is like an Uzi;
It weighs a ton.
Oh yeah, my love weighs a ton – Hey!
