From a first single in 1979, the group successfully combined a pop rock and power pop (and sometimes, a blues rock) influenced backing with harmony side-vocals and Lewis' strident voice, and the band had numerous hit songs during the 1980s and early 1990s. These include "The Power of Love" and "Back in Time" (both of which were featured in the film "Back to the Future"), "I Want a New Drug", "Doin' It All (For My Baby)", "Do You Believe in Love?" "Hip to Be Square", "Stuck With You", and "Jacob's Ladder". Huey Lewis shared three Grammy awards, an American Music Award, and a People's Choice Award along with several artists for his role singing the 1985 charity song "We Are the World" as well.

Huey Lewis & The News Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Searchin', searchin' for my baby, yes I am
Searchin', searchin' for my baby
I'm searchin', searchin' for my love
I'm searchin' for the one I adore
If I find her you know I will
I'll never, never let her go no, no, no, no
I'll never, never let her go, now, baby
I love you, I need you
I need you by my side
For my love, for my true love
I'll never, never never hide, now, baby, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no I'll never, never never hide, no no
I wonder I wonder why
You had to leave me this way
I'm sorry, darling that I made you cry
Forgive me, love, for the things I've done to you
Come along, come along
Give me one more try
Searchin', baby
I'm searchin', searchin' for my love
I'm searchin' for the one I adore
When I find her I'll never, never let her go, no no
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
I'll never, never let her go

I thought I was the only one who appreciated this song from the Bobby Moore era, and was thrilled when Huey did it later. I love both versions. It reminds me of "Matilda" by Cookie and His Cupcakes, another overlooked song.
