Lyrics

I’ve been looking for somebody who won’t bring me down
I’ve been looking for somebody who still wants me around
It’s hard to be lonely, it’s harder to be proud
I’ve been looking for somebody who won’t bring me down

I remember how you used to walk in front of my house
Pocketbook shoulder strap cutting through the center of your blouse
You were always such a danger, to everyone around
I’ve been looking for somebody who won’t bring me down

I’ve been looking for somebody
I’ve been looking for someone
I’ve been looking for somebody who won’t bring me down

I’ve been wondering if I ever should have let this go
Should I keep making strangers out of everyone that I used to know
I’ve been listening to Melancholy and the Infinite Sadness up loud
I’ve been looking for somebody who won’t bring me down

Work is tough, the kids are crazy, what more can I do
Maybe I should meet my maker if it takes this much to make it on through
I’m out here in the blue, riding on a shoeshine and a smile
I’ve been looking for somebody who won’t bring me down

I’ve been looking for somebody
I’ve been looking for someone
I’ve been looking for somebody who won’t bring me down
I’ve been looking for somebody who won’t bring me down
