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
Love's gonna run out fast
We gotta putting 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 preacher's hand and ask him to dinner
But really hope he never will
Then we wonder why we don't gеt ahead
As life keeps up passing us by
Keep a looking for things that wе 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
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
Love's gonna run out fast
We gotta putting more in
Than we take out
If we want love to last
Well, we say can't afford just to take a little time
To help a poor soul in need
We do just enough to ease our conscience
In the world of hate and greed
What we need is poor love but because of the color
Of the man we walk right past
We gotta putting 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
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
Love's gonna run out fast
We gotta putting more in
Than we take out
If we want love to last
