I couldn't escape this feeling With my China Girl I'm just a wreck without My little China Girl I'd hear her heart beating Loud as thunder Saw the stars crashing I'm a mess without My China Girl Wake up mornings, there's No China Girl I'd hear hearts beating Loud as thunder I'd see stars crashing down I'd feel tragic, like I Was Marlon Brando When I'd look at my China Girl I could pretend that nothing Really meant too much When I'd look at my China Girl I'd stumble into town Just like a sacred cow Visions of swastikas in my head And plans for everyone It's in the white of my eyes My little China Girl You shouldn't mess with me I'll ruin everything you are I'll give you television I'll give you eyes of blue I'll give you men who want to rule the world And when I get excited My little China Girl says "Oh Jimmy, just you shut your mouth" She says "shhhh..."
