Someone to count on in a world ever changin'. Here I am, stop where you standin'. What you need is a lover, someone to take over. Oh baby don't look any further. Strange when you think of the chances that we've both been in a state of mind. Too cool to be careless. Looking for the right thing. Oh baby don't look any further. Tonight (tonight) we're gonna taste a little paradise. Rockin' all night long. Rockin' all night long. Daylight (daylight) I'll still be looking in your heavenly eyes. Oh we rocked on and on and on. Day o umba day o mambu ji ay o. Don't look any further. Don't you look no furhter. Day o umba day o na jam bay um bay o. Don't look any further.
