Keep on looking now You gotta keep on looking now Keep on looking now
You're looking for love In all the wrong places
Where your walk it's always shadow Conversation always shallow When they talk they never look you in the eye They look over your shoulder To faces even colder And you feel a little older Every time
You're looking for love In all the wrong places
When you're looking for reaction When you're searching for direction When you're scared of rejection Or attack You need the warmth of loving When you're growing tired of seeing A colourless reflection Looking back
You're looking for love In all the wrong places
Something real to fill those little empty spaces So you're looking for love in all the wrong places
You need understanding You need a home All those people so alone You need understanding You need a home All those people so alone
You're looking for love In all the wrong places You're looking for love In all the wrong places
You better keep on looking now!
And so the evening shade will fall Where nameless voices call and call And think of all the friends you made While you toast with Prozac and lemonade
You can hold me under septic skies (You can dream to your own places) Watch the sun set in my eyes (You can't seem to put) Could this be the time to die? (A name to all the faces) The wind upon your face (Something real) Your lips upon my lips Like urban velvet (To fill those little empty spaces)
So you're looking for love in all the wrong places You keep on looking for love in all the wrong places
Dream and take away the tears (Keep on looking now) Drift on to where your heart is numb (You gotta keep on looking now) It's lovely there where love becomes A drug to fill your need Just believe in you! And learn to love yourself Before anyone else
