She confessed her love Then she vanished on the breeze Trying to hold on to that was just impossible She was more than beautiful Closer to ethereal With a kind of down to earth flavor Close my eyes It's three in the afternoon Then I realize That she's really gone for good Anybody seen my baby Anybody seen her around Love has gone and made me blind I've looked but I just can't find She has gotten lost in the crowd I was flippin' magazines In that place on mercer street When I thought I spotted her Getting on a motor bike Looking really lady like Didn't she just give me a wave? Salty tears It's three in the afternoon Has she disappeared Has she really gone for good Anybody seen my baby Anybody seen her around If I just close my eyes I reach out and touch the prize Anybody seen her around We came to rock for Brooklyn And Queens and Manhattan And The Bronx and Staten Island I can’t forget New Jersey and Long Island And all over the world, we came to rock for everybody like this Anybody seen my baby Anybody seen, anybody seen her around If I just close my eyes I reach out, I reach out and touch the prize Anybody seen her around Anybody seen my baby Anybody seen her around (lost, lost and never found) I must have called her a thousand times Sometimes I think she's just in my imagination Lost in the crowd
