The Modern Lovers version - Lyrics
Well I don't want just a girl to fool around with
Well I don't want just a girl to ball alright
What I want is a girl that I care about
Or I want nothing at all.
nothing at all, Alright
well
Well I won't pretend I like a girl if I really don't
And act like she's great when she makes me feel appalled
All I want is a girl that I care about
Or I want nothing at all.
nothing at all
Well I don't want some cocaine sniffing triumph in the bar
Well I don't want a triumph in the car
I don't want to make a rich girl crawl
What I want is a girl that I care about
Or I want no one at all
Alright, listen to this now.
Picture this:
I'm walking with my girlfriend
28 misguided souls combined say, "We're moving in"
There's a certain kind of girl that you care about so much
You say, "I don't care what you guys do to me, but her, don't touch"
'Cause I don't want just a girl to fool around with
I don't want just a girl to ball
What I want is a girl that I care about
Or I want nothing at all
Oh all right
Well I don't want just a girl to fool around with, no
I don't want just a girl to ball, no
What I want is a girl that I care about
Or I want nothing at all.
All right gentlemen.

Well I don't want a girl to fool around with
Well I don't want just a girl to ball
all I want is a girl that I care about
Or I want nothing at all.
nothing at all
Well I don't wanna pretend I like a girl if I really don't
act like she's great when she does my senses harm
All I want is a girl that I care about
Or I want nothing at all.
nothing at all
well listen
Well I don't just a cocaine sniffing triumph in the bar
and I don't want a triumph in the car
and I don't want to make a rich girl crawl
all I want is a girl that I care about
Or I want nothing at all
Gentlemen
well Picture this:
I'm walking with my girlfriend
28 misguided souls combined say, "We're moving in"
There's a certain kind of girl that you care about so much
that You say, "I don't care what you guys do to me, but her, don't touch"
'Cause I don't want a girl to fool around with

Live at the Longbranch and More version - Lyrics
well we don't just want someone to fool around with, the modern lovers don't want a girl to ball, we only want the girl that we care about or nothing at all
Well I don't want just a girl to fool around with
Well I don't want just a girl to ball
What I want is a girl that I care about
Or I want nothing at all.
All right
I don't wanna pretend I like a girl if I really don't
act like she's real great when she just makes me feel appalled
what I want is a girl that I care about
Or I want nothing at all.
All right
Well
well I don't want a cocaine sniffing triumph in the bar
and I don't want a triumph in the car
and I don't want to make some rich girl crawl
What I want is a girl that I care about
Or I want nothing at all
All right
well Picture this:
well I'm walking with my girlfriend
28 misguided tough guys come by and say, "We're moving in"
There's a certain kind of girl that you care about so much
You say, "I don't care what you tough guys do to me, but her, don't touch"
'Cause I don't want just a girl to fool around with
I don't want just a girl to ball
What I want is a girl that I care about
Or I want nothing at all
nothing at all
all right modern lovers, you ready? I'm ready
I don't want just a girl to fool around with
I don't want just a girl to ball
What I want is a girl that I care about
Or I want nothing at all.
