Lookin' For Love

I’m lookin' for love
For something complete
I'm lookin' in the clouds above
And in the gutter on the street
I'm praying for rain and the rainbow too
I'm waiting for lightning to strike me and who knows who

I'm takin’ the train down to Baltimore
I’m tellin’ my aches and pains
I ain’t gonna take anymore
I know a spot where the band’s always hot
I’m gonna dance with my dream girl
Even if she’s really not

I ain’t lookin’ to sign papers
Cramp anybody’s style
I don’t want to cause you vapors
I just want to see you smile
Oh love I’m lookin’ for you

I’m ridin’ the range on my old appaloose
I might wind up in chains or hangin’ from a noose
I’m roundin’ up all my old time used to be’s
Wondering if anybody out there
Still remembers me

The carnival lights are dimmin’ way down
All of the stars from last night are layin’ on the ground
Nothin’ comes true but I keep takin’ the bait
Cause I know tomorrow or the next day
It’s just gonna be great
Now if I had to pick her out cold from a line
Man I wouldn’t know which one’s supposed to be mine
Oh love I’m lookin’ for you

I’m lookin’ for love
Got nothin’ to lose
I’m lookin’ around in fancy cars and clothes and booze
Someday I’ll know when I find something true
I guess when it’s the real thing you know exactly what to do
I’m lookin’ for love
Oh love I’m lookin’ for you
