Everybody's got a little child inside Still looking for love Everything we do is in search of it Everything we say or think of And every time we reach for somebody We're reaching out for love Everybody's looking for love Everybody is looking for love When someone says a kind word It's music to your ears Yet somewhere inside you're wondering If you really deserve to let go of your fears You want to make a connection, you're looking for a way To escape the loneliness and the tears That you've had for years Everybody's looking for love Everybody is looking for love But you know you gotta Hold out, don't settle for less Hold out for the real thing, hold out for the real thing Hold out, you deserve the best
Hold out for the real thing, hold out for the real thing Hold out for love Maybe you're looking for security But without a doubt You're gonna miss the love you wish you had 'Cause love is what life is all about Well, if it don't feel right, then don't do it If the night is dark, don't sell your soul to get through it Listen to your heart, it'll tell you how to do it Love will be worth the wait Everybody's looking for love Everybody is looking for love But you know you gotta Hold out, don't settle for less Hold out for the real thing, hold out for the real thing Hold out, you deserve the best Hold out for the real thing, hold out for the real thing Hold out for love
