Sly & The Family Stone Searchin' Lyrics

Searchin' searchin'
Searchin' searchin'
Searchin' oh, I'm searchin'
(searchin' searchin')

Tell me again why I'm alone
Am I too choosy or is a good man hard to find
I believe there's someone for each of us
So I've got to be, at the right place, at the right time
In my black pumps
I check the mirror
Although I see myself clearly, it's you I can't find
So I'm left just...

Searchin' searchin'
Searchin' searchin'
Searchin' searchin'
Searchin' searchin'

Once I thought I found my dream come true
I woke up and found it wasn't you
Who are you ? The one, soul mate, my knight in armor
In your face the sun will rise and set
The Yin to my Yang, the upside in a downward trend
Yes, I'll know you when I find you
Until then...

I'm searchin with no end, for my lover and friend
And with you I will rest and truly find my piece
Of heaven here on earth, and deep within my heart
You are the missing part so I'll just keep on...

Searchin' searchin'
Searchin' searchin'
Searchin' searchin'
Searchin' searchin'

My tears reflect the pain burried in my heart from past loves
Look me in my eyes, you'll see the need, not the fear to be enough
Tell me why do I expose my feelings, only to feel the pain again
So I run and I run
How far can I run from the me I find inside of you
Protection is my prison, defenses keep me bound in my stone heart If I conceal myself will I ever love again ?
All I need is my superman
Show me the place I can run and don't have to hide
Somebody help me
I want to feel love, without pain

I'm searchin with no end, for my lover and friend
And with you I will rest and truly find my piece
Of heaven here on earth, and deep within my heart
You are the missing part so I'll just keep on...
(I'll keep on... searchin')

Searchin' searchin'
Searchin' searchin'
Searchin' searchin'
Searchin' searchin'

So I'll keep on searchin' baby, until I find you
I'm gonna keep searchin' baby, oh, searchin' (searchin')
So I'll keep searchin' baby, until I find you
I'm gonna keep searchin' baby, searchin'

Searchin' searchin'
Searchin' searchin'
Searchin' searchin'
Searchin' searchin' (so I'll keep searchin' baby)

Searchin' searchin'
Searchin' searchin'
Searchin' searchin'
Searchin' searchin'

(Searchin') so I'll keep on searchin' baby
(searchin') until I find you
(searchin') I'm gonna keep searchin' baby
(searchin') I'm searchin' searchin'
(searchin') so I'll keep searchin' baby
(searchin') until I find you
(searchin') I'm gonna keep searchin' baby
(searchin') searchin'

(Searchin' searchin') I'm searchin'
(searchin' searchin') oooh
(searchin' searchin') searchin' searchin'
(searchin' searchin') hey, hey
