This is one of their more popular songs so I figured I'd add it here.

Use a lot of overdrive and [yes] WAH! It's pretty straight forward,

just wail on it and have a good time!! :)

I met her somewhere in the corner of my eye

I keep her somehow in the back of my mind

It wasn't long ago I tried to show her my affection

She turned, looked at me, and ran in the other direction

I want love, I want drugs, I want sex and affection

I want everyone in this room here to look in my direction

I want a man with lips just like Mick Jagger

Rod Stewart's hair, and Keith Richards' stagger

That's what girls want

That's what girls want

That's what girls want

So I took her back home to my studio apartment

And that's where I told her exactly what my heart meant

I started to think, she threw it back in my face

I poured her a drink she said let's get out of this place

That's what girls want...

That's what girls want...

That's what girls want...

That's what girls want...

That's what girls want...

That's what girls want...

That's what girls want... (now back to power chords)

That's what girls waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaant...

 

She came around and moved in three weeks later

We got a one room shack just north of the equator

With a giant stereo and a manic TV

Every once in a while she says these things to me

More Material Issue to follow!
