LYRIC

Looking For The You In Someone New

Sometimes there’s a sweeter curve
A different way to touch the nerve
Exciting just because it’s strange and new
Then the novelty wears thin
I have to face the fact again
I’m lookin’ for the you in someone new

So I invent new fantasies
Brand new thrills I think I need
Then I seek them out but when I’m through
It hurts me then to realize
It’s just a futile exercise
Lookin’ for the you in someone new

And all the time I look for you
I’m blind to everything I see
I could miss Miss Wonderful
If she were standing right in front of me

So I flirt and carry on
A not-so-satisfied Don Juan
Sorry I don’t know what else to do
To some it must look pretty sad
To search so hard for what I had
Lookin’ for the you in someone new

And all the time I look for you
I’m blind to everything I see
I could miss Miss Wonderful
If she were standing right in front of me

Maybe someday I’ll discover
The one who is the perfect lover
Then I can close the books on me and you
Concentrate on my new friend
Never have to go again
Lookin’ for the you in someone new
Bring this searching to an end
Never have to go again
Lookin’ for the you in someone new
