I been hanging round this place, I been looking through your space
I been waiting for you, I've been waiting for you
All the places that you go, all the people that you know
I've been looking for you, I've been looking for you

And all these pretty people up on El Cerrito Place
They all got something in their pockets, all got something on their face
They roll down to La Brea where it meets the boulevard
Singing 'hallelujah' while they dance over the stars
They all say they're going far

Me, I've been looking for you, baby, I've been looking for you, baby
I've been looking for you, baby, I've been looking for you, baby
All night long, all night long, all night long

Somebody said they might have seen you where the ocean meets the land
So I've been out here all night looking for your footprints in the sand
Did you hear the ocean singing, baby, did you sing along
While you danced out in the water to some ol' forgotten song?
Were you even here at all?

Me, I've been looking for you, baby, I've been looking for you, baby
I've been looking for you, baby, I've been looking for you, baby
All night long, all night long, all night long

Somehow I wound up in the desert just after daylight
Where the Joshua Trees grow that little place you always liked
These pioneer town people ain't got too much to say
And if you ever were here, baby, they ain't giving you away

Now it's been two days
I'm still looking for you, baby, I've been looking for you, baby
I've been looking for you, baby, I've been looking for you, baby
All night long, all night long, all night long

And all these pretty people up on El Cerrito Place
They all got something in their pockets, all got something on their face

Someone say they might have seen you where the ocean meets the land
So I've been out here all night looking for your footprints in the sand

Think I'll go back to the city, back to El Cerrito Place
That's the last time I saw that pretty smile upon your face
I've been looking for you, baby
