I spent a lifetime lookin' for you Single bars and good time lovers were never true Playing a fools game, hopin' to win Tellin' those sweet lies and losin' again I was lookin' for love in all the wrong places Lookin' for love in too many faces Searchin' their eyes Lookin' for traces of what I'm dreaming of Hoping to find a friend and lover I'll bless the day I discover Another heart lookin' for love I was alone then, no love in sight I did everything I could to get me through the night I don't know where it started or where it might end I turned to a stranger just like a friend I was lookin' for love in all the wrong places Lookin' for love in too many faces Searchin' their eyes Lookin' for traces of what I'm dreaming of Hoping to find a friend and lover I'll bless the day I discover Another heart lookin' for love You came knockin' on my heart's door You're everything I've been looking for No more lookin' for love in all the wrong places Lookin' for love in too many faces Searchin' their eyes Lookin' for traces of what I'm dreaming of Now that I found a friend and lover God bless the day I discover You, oh you, lookin' for love Lookin' for love in all the wrong places Lookin' for love in too many faces Searchin' their eyes Lookin' for traces of what I'm dreaming of Now that I found a friend and lover God bless the day I discover You, oh you, lookin' for love
