Searchin’

[Intro]
Searchin'
Wastin' our time
For some lovin', she's searchin'
You could depend upon

[Verse 1]
You were a young tender sweet thing
Just [?]
I tried to give you a sure thing
But blinded by the light
[?]

[Pre-Chorus]
Now you spent your days and nights all alone
While the world of love is passing by
When I could make it

[Chorus]
Searchin'
Wastin' our time
Searchin' on and on (For some lovin', she's searchin')
I give you love, you can depend upon

[Verse 2]
I gave you love and affection
But you were insecure but needed something more
Turning in every direction
[?] queen

[Pre-Chorus]
Now you spent your days and nights all alone
While the world of love is passing by
When I could make it

[Chorus]
Searchin'
Wastin' our time
Searchin' on and on (For some lovin', she's searchin')
I give you love, you can depend upon

[Saxophone solo]

You could depend upon me
Depend upon love
Depend on the things that I do
Love will come right back to you

She's searchin'
Still searchin'
She's searchin'
Still searchin'

[Instrumental Break]

You can depend upon me
Depend upon love

[Chorus]
Searchin'
Wastin' our time
Searchin' on and on (For some lovin', she's searchin')
I give you love, you can depend upon
