Cynical Girl Lyrics
Well I'm goin' out
I'm goin' out lookin' for a cynical girl
Who's got no use for the real world
I'm lookin' for a cynical girl
Well I hate tv
There's gotta be somebody
Other than me
Who's ready to write it off immediately
I'm lookin' for a cynical girl
Well I'll know right away
By the look in her eye
She harbors no illusions
And she's worldly-wise
And I'll know when I give her a listen
That she...she's what I've been missin'
What I've been missin'
I'll be lost in love
And havin' some fun with my cynical girl
Who'll have no use for the real world
I'm lookin' for a cynical girl
Well I'm goin' out
I'm goin' out lookin' for a cynical girl
Who's got no use for the real world
I'm lookin' for a cynical girl
Yeah I'll know right away
By the look in her eye
She harbors no illusions
And she's worldly-wise
And I'll know when I give her a listen
That she...she's what I've been missin'
What I've been missin'
I'll be lost in love
And havin' some fun with my cynical girl
Who'll have no use for the real world
I'm lookin' for a cynical girl
This might be my favorite Marshall Crenshaw song. The thing I love about the narrator in this song is that while he wants so badly to find a "cynical girl" who shares his hate for TV, etc., his longing for love shows he's not quite as cynical at he believes. When he finds her he'll be lost in love, having fun. All that.
Well I hate TV There's gotta be somebody other than me Who's ready to write it off immediately
One of my favorite lines, in any song, ever.
