Lust For Life
Girls (Rock) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I wish I had a loving man in my life
I wish I had a father
Maybe then I would've turned out right
But now I'm just crazy, I'm totally mad
Yeah I'm just crazy, I'm fucked in the head
And maybe if I really tried with all of my heart
Then I could make a brand new start in love with you
Oh, I wish I had a suntan
Oh, I wish I had a pizza and a bottle of wine
Oh, I wish I had a beach house
Then we could make a big fire every night
Instead I'm just crazy, I'm totally mad
Yeah I'm just crazy, I'm fucked in the head
And maybe if I really tried with all of my heart
Then I could make a brand new start in love with you
C'mon c'mon c'mon Kayda

After 10 years, and crying to this song in a Walmart Parking lot, I can confidently confirm this is one of my favorite songs of all time.

RIP Chet JR White. I remember listening since day one as a 14 year old kid. Here I am 12 years later still listening endlessly. They've been the soundtrack of my life, through the ups and downs, love and heartbreak. They truly helped me navigate through this hectic journey of life and will always be an important part of my life. Thank you for everything.

That's what happens when you grew up as a cult baby and you were only ever allowed to listen to the Everly Brothers.
