Everybody I know is a looking for love but they don't know how they give it Everybody is a looking for more out of life but they don't know how they live it Like everything else if we don't return it the love's gonna run out fast We gotta puttin' more in than we take out if we want love to last Well if it don't rain we might go to church to put in a dollar bill Shake the precher's hand and ask him for dinner but really hope he never will Then we wonder why we don't get ahead as life keeps up pa**in' us by We keep a looking for things that we can't find and keep on wondering why Everybody I know is a looking for love but they don't know how they give it... Well we can't afford just to take a little time to help a poor soul in need We do just enough to heed our conscience in the world of hate and greed What we needed for love was the cause of the color of the mam we walk right past We gotta puttin' more in than we take out if we want love to last Everybody I know is a looking for love but they don't know how they give it...
