I hear he's out there... somewhere Been looking for him everywhere From Rosweld to Timbuktu I thought I found him once at a jiffy lube But it turned into a dead end so I got my oil changed and I tried again He was a major in archeology I was digging on him but he wasn't on me A girl trying to find herself the perfect man is like trying to find Atlantis CHORUS: It's a mystery like the deep blue sea You can take it you can leave it but I still believe So I won't give up and I won't give in I know I'm gonna find him I just don't know when A girl trying to find herself the perfect man is like trying to find Atlantis I met a mystic down in Memphis we stood at the foot of the pyramid He had me looking east - He had me looking west Then he showed me a map and said "I wish you the best" There was Elvis not the real one When he told me good bye he called me hun Just another shot in the dark like Eldorado or Noah's ark A girl trying to find herself the perfect man is like trying to find Atlantis (Chorus 2x) I said a girl trying to find herself the perfect man is like trying to find Atlantis trying to find Atlantis hey, I'm still trying to find...
