Babylon

She’s the kind of girl who wants to have it all or nothing
She doesn’t care who or why or how she gets it
She’s the kind of girl who wants the kind of things she can’t have
And I’m the kind of guy who wants the kind of girl who’s like that.

She’s the kind of girl that when you see her once you need her
She doesn’t have to try with one look of her eyes you’re sucked in
She’s the kind of girl if she doesn’t have her way you’ll know it
And I’m the kind of guy who will go right ahead and blow it.
Babylon. Babylon. Way it’s gonna stay.

She’s the kind of girl who is a hard act to follow.
She hints of hidden depths but leaves you feeling hollow.
She’s the kind of girl you know we all want but can’t have.
I’m the kind of guy waiting for the girl to drop her standards.
Babylon. Babylon. Way it’s gonna stay.

And the devil may care, but I don’t mind;
This girl has a beauty of a dangerous kind.
I’d bargain my soul just for one of her smiles.
I’ll take all the pain; she’ll deal with the lies.
She’ll go her way and I’ll go mine
And the devil may care, but she’ll be fine.
She’ll be fine.
