I been hangin' round this place, I been lookin' through your space I been waitin' for you, I've been waitin' for you All the places that you go, all the people that you know I've been lookin' for you, I've been lookin' for you
And all these pretty people up on El Cerrito Place They all got somethin' in their pockets, all got somethin' on their face They roll down to La Brea where it meets the boulevard Singin' hallelujah while they dance over the stars They all say they're goin' far
Me I've been lookin' for you baby, I've been lookin' for you baby I've been lookin' for you baby, I've been lookin' for you baby All night long, all night long, all night long
Someone said they might have seen you where the ocean meets the land So I've been out here all night lookin' for your footprints in the sand Did you hear the ocean singing, baby did you sing along While you danced out in the water to some ol' forgotten song, Were you even here at all?
Me I've been lookin' for you baby, I've been lookin' for you baby I've been lookin' for you baby, I've been lookin' for you baby All night long, all night long, all night long
Somehow I wound up in the desert just after daylight Where the Joshua Trees grow that little place you always liked These pioneer town people ain't got too much to say And if you ever were here baby they ain't givin' you away
Now it's been two days I'm still lookin' for you baby, I've been lookin' for you baby I've been lookin' for you baby, I've been lookin' for you baby All night long, all night long, all night long
And all these pretty people up on El Cerrito Place They all got somethin' in their pockets, all got somethin' on their face
Someone said they might have seen you where the ocean meets the land So I've been out here all night lookin' for your footprints in the sand
Think I'll go back to the city, back to El Cerrito Place That's the last time that I saw that pretty smile upon your face I've been lookin' for you baby
