Band Quotes

Trivia
Lyrics
Oh, yeah, you're pretty good looking for a girl, but your back is so broken, and this feeling's still gonna linger on until the year 2525 now. Yeah, you're pretty good looking for a girl; your eyes are wide open, and your thoughts have been stolen by the boys who took you out and bought you everything you want now. Yeah, you're pretty good looking... for a girl. Lots of people in this world, but I want to be your boy. To me, that thought is sounding so absurd, and I don't wanna be your toy, 'cause you're pretty good looking for a girl. My future's wide open, but this feeling's still gonna linger on until I know everything I need to know now. Yeah, you're pretty good looking... for a girl.
