I been hangin' round this place, I been lookin' through your space I been waitin' for you, I've been waitin' for you All the places you would go, all the people that you know I've been lookin' for you, I've been lookin' for you And all them pretty people up on El Cerrito Place They all got somethin' in their pockets, all got somethin' on their face They roll down to La Brea where it meets the boulevard Singin' hallelujah while they dance over the stars They all think they're goin' far Chorus: Me I've been lookin' for you baby, I've been lookin' for you baby I've been lookin' for you baby, I've been lookin' for you baby All night long, all night long, all night long Somebody said they might have seen you where the ocean meets the land So I've been out here all night lookin' for your footprints in the sand Did you hear the ocean singing, baby did you sing along
As you danced over the water to some ol' forgotten song, Were you even here at all? Me I've been lookin' for you baby, I've been lookin' for you baby I've been lookin' for you baby, I've been lookin' for you baby All night long, all night long, all night long Somehow I wound up in the desert just after daylight There's a Joshua Tree grows that little place you always liked These pioneer town people they ain't got too much to say and if they might have seen you they ain't givin' you away Now it's been two days Me I've been lookin' for you baby, I've been lookin' for you baby I've been lookin' for you baby, I've been lookin' for you baby All night long, all night long, all night long I think I'll go back to the city, back to El Cerrito Place That's the last time that I saw that pretty smile upon your face I've been lookin' for you baby
