I've Been Looking

Nitty Gritty Dirt Band


I've been lookin' for a love 
someone to hold as I lay sleeping 
I'm not talking about someone who's scared of promises or
keeping 'em 
I'm just looking for a love to stand the test of time 
I've been lookin' for someone to be all mine 

I had too much lonely 
I need a one and only 
someone I can care about and call my own 
Well in true tradition 
without an intermission 
We'll still be together when the kids are grown. 

I've been lookin for a love 
someone to hold as I lay sleeping 
I'm not talking about someone who's scared of promises or
keeping 'em 
I'm just lookin' for a love to stand the test of time 
I've been looking for someone to be all mine.

I've been lookin for a love 
someone to hold as I lay sleeping 
I'm not talking about someone who's scared of promises or
keeping 'em 
I' m just looking for a love to stand the test of time 
I've been looking for someone to be all mine. 

I've been looking for some one to be all mine. 
I've been looking for some one to be all mine. 
I've been looking for some one to be all mine. 

I've been lookin for a love 
someone to hold as I lay sleeping 
I'm not talking about someone who's scared of promises or
keeping 'em
I' m just looking for a love to stand the test of time 
I've been looking for someone to be all mine.
