Lookin' For Love
Radical Something Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ohhh ahh ohhh yeah
Some Love
I'm hangin round these cities full of people that don't get me
And I'm trying really hard but they forget me
Shake my hand and pretend they never met me
I wish I could be welcomed into arms that were a little more accepting
And now I wanna say excuse me
Is there something here about me that you find so damn amusing?
It's my style, no?
I guess its just my luck
That I'm stuck in the same damn rut that they dug
I'm Lookin' for some love right now
Can somebody help me in this town?
I'm looking for some love right now
Can somebody help me out?
Singing
Just another dark day, bright lights illuminate the night life
Runaway girls in the lines live a nice life
I'm reaching out to all of them, explaining how to make it
And hoping one day that they create it
Cuz beauty's in your heart let it out let it beat
If you love the world around you then your life will be complete
We all fight the same damn enemies were on the same team
Are any of us worth it if we don't compete?
I'm Lookin' for some love right now
Can somebody help me in this town?
I'm looking for some love right now
Can somebody help me out?
Singing
I'm still lookin for some love
Some love
I'm Lookin' for some love right now
Can somebody help me in this town?
I'm looking for some love right now
Can somebody help me out?

I just want you guys to know that judging by my listen time to your music vs. all other artists I listen to, you're my favorite for sure:) It's clear by the consistently great tunes you put out, how you put out your music into the public for free like this here, and the number of years that you've been at it that you guys really do this for the love of the music. Your tunes really keep me pumped and positive in life, and I really hope to meet y'all someday cuz I hear you're just as awesome in real life. Keep it up!
