Duke Ellington - (I Want) Something To Live For lyrics

I have almost every thing a human could desire Cars and houses, bear-skin rugs to lie before my fire But there's something missing; something isn't there It seems I'm never kissing the one whom I care for I want something to live for Someone to make my life an adventurous dream Oh, what wouldn't I give for Someone who'd take my life and make it seem Gay as they say it ought to be Why can't I have love like that brought to me? My eye is watching the noon crowds Searching the promenades, seeking a clue To the one who will someday be my Something to live for My eye is watching the noon crowds Searching the promenades, seeking a clue To the one who will someday be my Something to live for
