  • (One, two, three, four)

    Get in my backseat, honeypie
    And I'll wear your sadness like it's mine
    Because it's just good to have what was missing
    It's just bad to be bad to always be missing

    But a girl like you
    Could rip me out of my head
    Black tears on your cheek
    I want them in my bed
    I'll take you out of the city
    Honey, right into the shadow
    'Cause I wanna find tomorrow
    Yeah, I wanna find tomorrow
    With a girl like you
    My Chinatown lady
    Sittin' on the front stoop
    Cryin' out the crazy
    I'll take you out of the city
    Right into the shadow
    'Cause, I wanna find tomorrow
    Yeah, I wanna find tomorrow with you, baby

    Gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme that big red light
    And please take the sadness out of Saturday night
    'Cause that's just good
    To have what was missing
    We were bad to be bad
    To always be missing

    But a girl like you
    Could rip me out of my head
    Black tears on your cheek
    I want them in my bed
    I'll take you out of the city
    Honey, right into the shadow
    'Cause I wanna find tomorrow
    Yeah, I wanna find tomorrow
    With a girl like you
    My Chinatown baby
    Sittin' on your front stoop
    Cryin' out the crazy
    I'll take you out of the city
    Honey, right into the shadow
    'Cause I wanna find tomorrow
    Yeah, I wanna find tomorrow with you, baby

    I wanna run
    I wanna run
    I like to chase every feeling
    I wanna run (a girl like you)
    I wanna run (a girl like you)
    I wanna run
    Wanna find tomorrow, tomorrow with you, baby
