I want a girl who likes my band
Who laughs at my jokes and who'll hold my hand
And if I feel unwell she'll sympathise
And she won't go home with other guys
I want true love and a bond that lasts
And I don't think that is too much to ask
I want a girl who's got two eyes
And a nose and a mouth and who knows her own mind
I could buy her things and take her out
And we'll have so much to talk about
I want true love and a bond that lasts
I don't think that... it isn't a lot to ask
As I pull out the personals
Romance in a catalogue
Thinking what am I doing wrong?
I'm without emotion
They say that love finds it way to you
That it'll strike when you're on the tube
But what if you don't commute?
I want a girl who likes my band
Who laughs at my jokes and who'll hold my hand
And if I feel unwell she'll sympathise
And she won't go home with other guys
I want true love and a bond that lasts
And I don't think that is too much to ask
I want a girl but they don't want me
'Cause I won't shut up when they watch TV
And I can't accept that we're not the same
With the raised eyebrow at my video game
If I could just try not to laugh
At her favourite songs... it isn't a lot to ask.
As I pull out the personals
Romance in a catalogue.
Thinking what am I doing wrong?
I'm without emotion.
When my voice is a dial tone
Just a noise as I rattle on
I think I'm better off on my own.
(Interlude)
I want a girl who likes my band
Who laughs at my jokes and who'll hold my hand
And if I feel unwell she'll sympathise
And she won't go home with other guys
I want true love and a bond that lasts
And I don't think that is too much to ask
I want a girl who don't exist
She's an idea, I'm the idealist
And I won't back down, or compromise
Cause I don't want a life that's based on lies
I know I get so wrapped up in all that I want.
But you could be anything, you'd still be the one.
Just the one, just the one,
I don't want the world, I just want one,
Just the one, my only one
Just the one, just the one,
I don't want the world, I just want one,
Just the one, my only one
Just the one, just the one,
I don't want the world, I just want one,
Just the one, my only one
Just the one, just the one,
I don't want the world, I just want one,
Just the one, my only one
