You may be lookin' for me 
But I ain't lookin' for you.
I'm still lookin' for myself 
And I ain't got time to look for nobody else.
When I found who I am and where I am
And if you come round again, 
Maybe then, baby.
Maybe then.

You wanna follow me 
But, honey, can't you see
I don't know where the hell I'm goin'.
How can I know your mind 
When I don't even know my own?
Now when the road gets tough
Or when I get enough
Or maybe when I reach the end, 
Maybe then, baby.
Maybe then.

So stick around or go away.
Whichever one you choose.
You ain't got a single thing 
That I think I can use,
And you and I ain't shared a thing 
That I'm afraid to lose.

You say that you love me
But I don't love you.
I love someone I never seen
As she lives in a place that I never been.
When I realize it's all in my eyes,
Just one great big patent, maybe then.
Maybe then.
Maybe then.
Maybe then.
Maybe then but I won't say when.
Maybe then, baby.
Maybe then.
