I don't want a girl who tells me what to do
I need somebody who doesn't want some fool
I need somebody who's no posh princess fake
I need somebody who doesn't converse with snakes

I need somebody new
I need somebody who's nothing like you
I just need somebody new
so, Baby, this is just to say we're through
because I need somebody new

I don't want a girl who's always dragging me down
I don't have time to play nobody's dumb clown
I don't have time to play nobody's French maid
I don't have time for nobody's who's afraid

tell me that you love me & I'll know you're a liar
try to fly above me & I'll just float on higher
you think you're sable fur but you're only cheap cracked leather
the future is a dream but we're not sleeping together

I need somebody new
I need somebody who's nothing like you
I just need somebody new
so, Baby, this is just to say we're through
because I need somebody new

[synthesizer solo]

Hey!

I don't want a girl who likes nothing but herself
I don't want someone who wants anyone else
I don't want someone who thinks she's England's queen
I don't want someone who won't give it to me

tell me that you love me & I'll know you're a liar
try to fly above me & I'll just float on higher
you think you're sable fur but you're only cheap cracked leather
the future is a dream but we're not sleeping together

Hey!

I need somebody new
I need somebody who's nothing like you
I just need somebody new
so, Baby, this is just to say we're through
because I need somebody new
