looking for love

i'm tired of waiting
an' closing my eyes
i'm asking myself
why is it all my horizons
are so far away

i look in the mirror
don't like what i see
in my reflection
a stranger is staring at me
looking for love

the love of a woman
the needs of a man
i try so hard to believe
but i don't understand
the search goes on

but over the mountains
across the sea
i know love is waiting
i hear it calling to me
calling my name

i'm looking for love all around me
looking for love to surround me
the love that i need
to rescue the state of my heart

alone again. it's always the same
i've just been marking my time
since the day i was born
with no one to blame

the candle is burning
it's way down low
i just need someone
to show me the way to go
which way to go

i'm looking for love all around me
looking for love to surround me
the love that i need
to rescue the state of my heart

i'm looking for love
an' finding only heartache
looking for a love
an' finding only heartache
i'm looking for love to rely on
looking for love, a shoulder to cry on
i'm looking for love
to rescue the state of my heart
