Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Stayin' at home waitin' for you
Just won't get it 'cause you say we're through
[Verse 2]
Well, I'm lookin' for someone to love
I'm lookin' for someone to love
Well, a-you're not here my baby, I don't care
'Cause I'm lookin' for someone to love
[Verse 3]
Playin' the field all the day long
Since I found out that I was wronged
[Verse 4]
Well, I'm lookin' for someone to love
I'm lookin' for someone to love
Well, a-you're not here my baby, I don't care
'Cause I'm lookin' for someone to love
[Verse 5]
Caught myself thinkin' of you
You can't love me and another one too
[Verse 6]
Well, I'm lookin' for someone to love
Yeah, I'm lookin' for someone to love
Well, a-you're not here my baby, I don't care
'Cause I'm lookin' for someone to love
[Verse 7]
Drunk man
Streetcar
Foot slip
There you are
Well, I'm lookin' for someone to love
[Verse 8]
I'm lookin' for someone to love
Well, a-you're not here my baby, I don't care
'Cause I'm lookin' for someone to love
[Verse 9]
I'm lookin' for someone to love
I'm lookin' for someone to love
I'm lookin' for someone to love
I'm lookin' for someone to love
