I've been everywhere, man
Looking for someone
Someone who can please me
Love me all night long
I've been everywhere, man
Looking for you babe
Looking for you babe
Searching for you babe

Where have you been?
'Cause I never see you out
Are you hiding from me, yeah?
Somewhere in the crowd

All my life, all my life
Where have you been, all my life?
Where have you been, all my life?

Somewhere in the crowd

Where have you been?
All my life, all my life

You can have me all you want
Any way, any day
To show me where you are tonight
