Now I'm back on the block
In my new Jaguar
Trying to find this lady
Never gonna admit, I won't stop (til I)
Till I find my baby (baby)
Back down the alley way
I'm going crazy (yeah)
If it ever crossed my mind
That I wouldn't find this lady
Reality (ooh)
My mind's playin' tricks on me (yeah)
How could this be (that she)
She could have this effect on me
Right before my very eyes (there she was)
That's where I found her

This is the song that makes you regret not talking to the lady pumping gas next to you, in line at the grocery store, or just walking by.
