Lyrics of
Lookin' For Love

Lookin for Love is a song made famous by Johnny Lee and was featured on the soundtrack of the 1980 film Urban Cowboy. The song, which discusses the journey of searching for true love, was written by Wanda Mallette, Patti Ryan, and Bob Morrison. Its association with the movie helped it become a major hit.

Well, I spent a lifetime lookin' for you
single bars and good time lovers were never true
playing a fool's game, hopin' to win
and tellin' those sweet lies and losin' again

I was lookin' for love in all the wrong places
lookin' for love in too many faces
searchin' their eyes
lookin' for traces
of what I'm dreamin' of
Hoping to find a friend and a lover
I'll bless the day I discover,
another heart, lookin' for love

And I was alone then, no love in sight
I did everything I could to get me through the night
I don't know where it started or where it might end
I turned to a stranger just like a friend

I was lookin' for love in all the wrong places
lookin' for love in too many faces
searchin' their eyes
lookin' for traces
of what I'm dreamin' of
Hoping to find a friend and a lover
I'll bless the day I discover,
another heart, lookin' for love

And you came a knockin' at my heart's door
you're everything I've been lookin' for

There's no more lookin' for love in all the wrong places
lookin' for love in too many faces
searchin' their eyes
lookin' for traces
of what I'm dreamin' of
Now that I found a friend and a lover
I bless the day I discovered
you, oh you, lookin' for love
(It starts repeating and fading out at this point)
