Lookin’ For A Love

Looking for a love that’s gone away
Thinking of the things to make her stay
But I never listened to what she had to say
Looking for a love that’s gone away
If I don’t find her anyway
I’m always looking for a better day

When I first saw her walking by the sea
I remember how she got to me
Was she just a summer love?
Or maybe something from above
Like the water flows away so free
Somehow that girl slipped away from me
As days go by it’s getting hard to remember
Was it June? Or late September?
I guess the time don’t really matter
I just think of the times that I had her
Walking on the sand
She’d run to me and grab my hand
So here I go on another ride that spins
Another race I can’t win
Gather up what’s left of me
I guess that’s how it’s supposed to be

Looking for a love that’s gone away
Thinking of the things to make her stay
But I never listened to what she had to say
Looking for a love that’s gone away
If I don’t find her anyway
I’m always looking for a better day

Two ships pass in the night
Maybe she won’t, maybe she might
Maybe she will if you tell her to
She just need a little persuading on what to do
We be conversating, procrastinating
‘Cause I don’t know why the hell we’re still waiting
She be acting like I should be waiting in line
And yeah I got a clock girl but I aint got the time
It’s summertime with the sunshine coming through
I got a reservation for a party of two
I had a love but it came and went
I guess I just didn’t take the hint
If you don’t make the move someone else willing to
She got me caught up in a Twenty Two
When I showed up it was just too late
She said her love could no longer wait

Looking for a love that’s gone away
Thinking of the things to make her stay
But I never listened to what she had to say
Looking for a love that’s gone away
If I don’t find her anyway
I’m always looking for a better day

Long summer days no end in sight
When it came to having fun we did it right
But like all good things that come to an end
I just want to do it over again
Didn’t take time to stick out
I have no doubt what it’s about
She said it was just a summer fling
It was never supposed to mean anything
Those hot summer nights have come and gone
I think we both did each other wrong
I can’t think of anything more to say
Did we have something good and throw it away
I only think about you in this song
My memories of you are not too long
Maybe we’ll meet another day
Another starlit night on a moonlit bay

Looking for a love that’s gone away
Thinking of the things to make her stay
But I never listened to what she had to say
Looking for a love that’s gone away
If I don’t find her anyway
I’m always looking for a better day
