i m looking for a world

Skeeter Davis

A paper pack of sugar a plastic spoon and knife
A paper cup a paper plate a different boy each night
I m getting tired of a paper and a plastic world
One that s not a lasting world that s how I feel
I m looking for a silver and a crystal world
Not an artificial world but one that s real
Shiny plastic flowers electronic steeple chimes
Seem to be becoming the symbols of our times
I m looking for a simple sandy suntan world
Not a handy sunlamp world but one that is true
(I m searching for) the kind and honest joy that I ll find in a boy like you
