[Verse 1]
I don't love you but I want to
Just give me something that I can hold on to
Come on baby and speed your lust to me
Here's my number on a cocktail napkin
Think about it like a loaded weapon
Cock the hammer and point that thing at me

[Pre-Chorus]
Why don't you call
Why don't you call
Why don't you call
Kill me for the thrill of it all

[Chorus]
I want someone, anyone
Tall ones, short ones, skinny ones
I want someone, anyone

[Verse 2]
You spend your nights at home crying
I spend mine death defying
I call it testing morality
So pull the goggles down over your eyes
And say good night to the rest of the barflies
I'm forever yours temporarily

[Pre-Chorus]
Why don't you call
Why don't you call
Why don't you call
Kill me for the thrill of it all

[Chorus]
I want someone, anyone
Drunk ones, spun ones, anyone
I want someone, anyone
Fat ones, whacked ones, give me some
I want someone, anyone
Spend some, rent one, lend me one
Fun ones, dumb ones, gypsy chicks on rocks
Done ones, even chicks with chicken pox

[Outro]
I want someone, anyone
(I want someone, anyone)
I want someone, anyone
(I want someone, anyone)
Drunk ones, spun ones, give me some
(I want someone, anyone)
Fat ones, whacked ones, anyone
I want someone, anyone
