I met a girl from China 
She became a friend 
When I learned to understand her 
There was much to comprehend 
I'd sympathise with her stories 
She'd laugh at my jokes 
So many things about that time 
Her memory evokes 

I said 

Just like me you get angry, like me you get mad 
Just like me you're happy, then you're a little sad 
We can blow smoke rings from the same cigarette 
We can write a song, maybe a little duet 

She said 

Eyes that are shut they will never see 
If you want the fruit you gotta shake the tree 
Everyone in the world's playing blind man's buff 
You're just like me, you're just looking for love 

Then I met a man from Africa, Dakar, Senegal 
Apart from the colour of his skin he was like a man I 
knew from Montreal 

I said 

Do you get scared? So do I 
Think there's nothing there? So do I 

And then he said 

Have you ever faked love, me too 
Give not enough, I do 
Do you state your case well so do I 
Then close your mind to the reply 

Have you said there's no God then prayed at night 
I have, I do and again I might 
Do you wanna cry when you feel afraid 
And kept your tears inside and there they stayed 

Do you get so angry you can't understand 
You do, I do, so does every other man 
In France or Spain or Timbuctoo 
What's inside of him is inside of you 
And inside of me is in every other 
Whoever you are, you're my mother 
My father, my sister, my brother 

Just like me you get angry, like me you get mad 
Just like me you're happy, then you're a little sad 
We can blow smoke rings from the same cigarette 
We can write a song, maybe a little duet 

Eyes that are shut they will never see 
If you want the fruit you gotta shake the tree 
Everyone in the world's playing blind man's buff 
You're just like me, you're just looking for love 

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh 
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh 
Looking for love for love for love for love, oh 
Looking for love for love for love for love, oh 
Looking for love for love for love for love, yeah 
Looking for love for love for love for love, oh
