I Look For Love Lyrics

I Look For Love lyrics

(John Hiatt)



Why did she wear that dress tonight?

Why did she bring that stranger

She looks put out in party lights

Which leaves us all in danger

When she drops her perfumed hanky



I look for love (repeat 4 times)



I hate the way they carry on

These fashion consultations

Do all the wires we sing along

Require such insulation

Fused with fear or charged with anger



I look for love (repeat 4 times)



No innocence I can claim

No treasure of stolen hearts

In the mirror I look the same

A toy soldiers with missing parts



She's adding up those second looks

While he collects advances

Like thumbing through those dirty books

They estimate their chances

When the parking lot is empty



I look for love (repeat 4 times)
