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)

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
