I could sleep on a clothes line
As easy as pie
I can't keep my eyes open
No matter how I try
I gotta sit down
I can't stay on my feet
I been up all night
I been walkin' the street
Oh yeah

Looking for my baby
But everywhere I've gone
Tell me I just missed her
It's gone on too long

Well I'd go up on a mountain
And I'd fight a wild cat
Walk over Niagara
And all the way back
Get lost in the jungle
And I'd live up a tree

That's what I would want to do
If you would stay with me
Oh yeah

Looking for you baby
Gone from pillar to post
Everywhere I'd just  missed you baby
By a minute at the most

Well I'm looking for you baby
In the cafe's and the bar
All the places is glad to know you
And they say you cannot go too far
But you've gone far enough baby
If I find out I've done nothing wrong
Don't have to ask who's the fool
I won't be the one
Oww not a loser

Well I would sleep on the tail-plane
Of a Jumbo Jet
Walk over the Ocean
And I'd never once get wet
Go skating on an iceberg
And that's what I would once do
Lay it down a dozen times
Just to hear you say
"I Love You"

Looking for you baby
But everywhere I go
Tell me I just missed you baby
By a minute at the most

Well I could
Sleep on a clothes line
As easy as pie
I can't keep my eyes open
No matter how I try
I gotta sit down
I can't stay on my feet
I been up all night
I been walkin' the street
Yeah

Looking for you baby
Everywhere I go
Tell me I just missed you baby
You know it's gone on too long
Yeah
Gone too long baby
Yeah
