Leaving in the evening
Traveling at night
Staying inconspicuous
I'm staying out of sight
{section: Chorus ii}
And I'm searching for a heart
Searching everyone
They say love conquers all
You can't start it like a car
You can't stop it with a gun

{section: Verse iii}
Searching high and low for you
Trying to track you down
Certain individuals
Have finally come around
{section: Chorus iii}
And I'm searching for a heart
Searching everyone
They say love conquers all
You can't start it like a car
You can't stop it with a gun
They tell me love requires a little standing in line
And I've been waiting for you, lover, for a long, long time
I've been pacing the floor I've been watching the door
Meanwhile I'll keep searching for a heart
Searching everyone
They say love conquers all
You can't start it like a car
You can't stop it with a gun
