Now I was lookin' for love, in all the wrong places
Lookin' for love, starin' into black faces

Now I was tryin' so hard to find love, in every corner of the city
Lookin' for love, all over town

Took me so long - So long 
So long - So long 
Before I met you 
Took me so long - So long 
So long - So long 
To get you

It took me so long - So long 
Too long - So long 
To get close to you 
Took me so long - So long 
So long - So long 
Now I'm tryin' to forget you

Took me so long - So long, so long
So long – So long 
So long - So long 
So long - So long 

Took me so long - So long, so long 
Starin' into the black faces

So long - So long 
So long - So long 

Lookin' -So long - For love - So long 
In all the wrong places
-So long, so long 

Lookin' - So long - For love -So long 
in every corner of the city
