Cynical Girl
In Search of a Cynical Love: Marshall Crenshaw's Quest
Lyrics
Well I'm goin' out
Expressing the speaker's intention to go out.
I'm goin' out lookin' for a cynical girl
Searching for a girl with a cynical outlook on life.
Who's got no use for the real world
Describing the desired girl's detachment from reality.
I'm lookin' for a cynical girl
Reiterating the search for a cynical girl.
Well I hate TV
Expressing a dislike for television.
There's gotta be somebody other than me
Believing there must be others who share the speaker's sentiments.
Who's ready to write it off immediately
Seeking someone ready to dismiss TV immediately.
I'm lookin' for a cynical girl
Reiterating the search for a cynical girl.
Well I'll know right away by the look in her eye
Anticipating recognizing the right girl through her demeanor.
She harbors no illusions and she's worldly-wise
Describing the ideal girl as realistic and experienced.
And I'll know when I give her a listen that she
Expecting to discern her cynicism when listening to her.
She's what I've been missin'
Confident that she is what the speaker has been missing.
What I've been missin'
Repeating the idea of a missing element fulfilled by the girl.
I'll be lost in love
Foreseeing being deeply in love.
And havin' some fun with my cynical girl
Having fun with the cynical girl.
Who'll have no use for the real world
Describing the girl's disinterest in the real world.
I'm lookin' for a cynical girl
Reiterating the search for a cynical girl.
Well I'm goin' out
Repeating the intention to go out.
I'm goin' out lookin' for a cynical girl
Searching for a cynical girl once again.
Who's got no use for the real world
Describing the desired girl's detachment from reality.
I'm lookin' for a cynical girl
Reiterating the search for a cynical girl.
Yeah I'll know right away by the look in her eye
Anticipating recognizing the right girl through her demeanor.
She harbors no illusions and she's worldly-wise
Describing the ideal girl as realistic and experienced.
And I'll know when I give her a listen that she
Expecting to discern her cynicism when listening to her.
She's what I've been missin'
Confident that she is what the speaker has been missing.
What I've been missin'
Repeating the idea of a missing element fulfilled by the girl.
I'll be lost in love
Foreseeing being deeply in love.
And havin' some fun with my cynical girl
Having fun with the cynical girl.
Who'll have no use for the real world
Describing the girl's disinterest in the real world.
I'm lookin' for a cynical girl
Reiterating the search for a cynical girl.
