But you never thought you'd meet a girl quite like me (like me)
I like the ball
I'll take you out
Buy out the mall
You never thought you'd meet a girl quite like me
I own them all
The cribs and cars
I'm a superstar

Anything you want
Boy you know I got it
Put you on a plane
Go somewhere exotic
Take you all around the world
Fulfill your fantasies
I can make you love
I'll be everything you need

That's your girlfriend, yeah whatever
I know I can love you better
She's not special
I just met her
I know I can love you better

Ohhh
You don't look too happy at all
You need me in your life you should call
I'll save you
Baby you should let me be here for you

Pardon me if I seem too aggressive (I'm sorry)

I'll spoil you too

Anything you want
Boy you know I got it

on Livin' On The Edge Of The Night (edit)

Here are corrections to incorrect lyrics - outrageously, stupidly incorrect: The first line is, "ILL WIND off the river". (And that's ill, not I'll.) The second line is, "smoke stacks fade to BLACK". Second verse: "I've made my bed but I can't REST my head". And "so much COULD be misunderstood". Bridge: "WELL maybe it's just my life". An artist crafts his work meticulously , then this is what happens to it. Disgusting.
