Lookin' for love in all the wrong places

Well, I spent a lifetime lookin' for you
Single bars and good time lovers were never true
Playin' a fools game, hopin' to win
Tellin' those sweet lies and losin' again


I was lookin' for love in all the wrong places
Lookin' for love in too many faces
Searchin' their eyes, lookin' for traces
Of what I'm dreamin' of
Hopin' to find a friend and a lover
I'll bless the day I discover
Another heart lookin' for love
And I was alone then, no love in site
I did everything I could to get me through the night
I don''t know where it started or where it might end
I'd turn to a stranger just like a friend
'Cause I was lookin' for love
In all the wrong places
Lookin' for love in too many faces
Searchin' their eyes, lookin' for traces
Of what I'm dreamin' of
Hopin' to find a friend and a lover
I'll bless the day I discover
Another heart lookin' for love
(lyrics from Johnny Lee)


The puffiness around the eyes was completely unintentional but so appropriate for what this one stands for.  The way they put themselves out there time and time again.  Every time they compromise what they said they would not do every again for anyone or anything but still, they can't stop themselves.  Why?  Because the very thing they lack within themselves (LOVE) is the absolute thing they cannot stop themselves from seeking out because they know it's out there somehow and somewhere just waiting to be found.  Still, it doesn't make the heartbreak they are forced to endure over and again any less painful or those nights they spend full of wanderings and wishes any less long and late.
