Lookin' for Love
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Well, I spent a lifetime lookin' for you
Singles bars and good time lovers are never true
Playin' a fools game and hopin' to win
And tellin' those sweet lies and losin' again.
Chorus:
I was lookin' for love in all the wrong places
Lookin' for love in too many faces
Searchin' their eyes
And lookin' for traces
Of what I'm dreamin' of
Hopin' to find a friend and a lover
God bless the day I discover
Another heart
Lookin' for love.
I was along then, no love in sight
I did everything I could to get me through the night
Don't know where it started or where it might end
I turned to a stranger, just like a friend.
Chorus:
I was lookin' for love in all the wrong places
Lookin' for love in too many faces
Searchin' their eyes
And lookin' for traces
Of what I'm dreamin' of
Hopin' to find a friend and a lover
God bless the day I discover
Another heart
Lookin' for love.
You came a knockin' at my heart's door
You're everything I've been lookin' for
No more lookin' for love in all the wrong places
Lookin' for love in too many faces
Searchin' their eyes
And lookin' for traces
Of what I'm dreamin' of
Now that I found a friend and a lover
God bless the day I discover
You, oh you
Lookin' for love.
In all the wrong places
Lookin' for love in too many faces
Searchin' their eyes
And lookin' for traces
Of what I'm dreamin' of
Now that I found a friend and a lover
God bless the day I discover
You, oh you
Lookin' for love.
In all the wrong places...
