[Verse 1]
In a filthy barroom
She was shooting pool with friends
I sent someone over and
I watched her shake her head, she said
If I wanted to meet her
I had to come at least that far
I introduced myself to a look that would kill
She sneered, "I know who you are"

[Chorus]
Oh yeah, that's right, climb on and hold tight
She is all I want in a girl

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
We took off on a rocket ride
It felt like it would never end
I started moving in on over
And I watched her tilt her head, she said
If I'm gonna lay it on her, it'd better
Be more than just tonight
At that moment "I knew after I kissed you
I've known you all my life", she said

[Chorus]
Oh yeah, that's right, climb on and hold tight
She is all I want in a girl
Oh yeah, that's right, I like that she's all spice
I am all she wants in my girl

[Instrumental Break]

[Outro]
All I want, all I need, all I want, all that I need
All I want, all I need, all I want, all that I need...
All I want in a girl, she is all that
All I want in a girl, she is all that
All I want in a girl, she is all that
All I want in a girl, she is all that... I want
All I want, all I need, all I want, all that I need
All I want, all I need
She is all that I want

After being kicked out of Metallica, Dave Mustaine decided to form a Thrash Metal band that not only rivaled his former band, but played faster, more technical Metal. Along with bassist David ‘Junior’ Ellefson and a revolving door of guitarists and drummers, Mustaine set the world afire as Megadeth became known as the world’s state-of-the-art Speed Metal band throughout the 80s and the early 90s. One of the Big Four of Thrash Metal, Megadeth remains one of Metal’s most popular acts today.

However, Dave Mustaine’s fledgling band got off to a shaky start. Initially unable to find like-minded individuals, it was not until an altercation with his (underage) downstairs neighbours Dave Ellefson and Greg Handevidt, that led to him buying them beer and forming the first incarnation of the band with drummer Dijon Carruthers in 1983.

The band was named after a political pamphlet that referred to a “megadeath” (one million deaths by nuclear explosion):
