The J. Geils Band Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Somebody help me
Somebody help me now
Somebody help me now

Somebody help me
Find my baby
Somebody help me
Find my baby right now

(CHORUS)
I`m looking for a love
I`m looking for a love
I`m looking here and there
I`m searching everywhere
I`m looking for a love
To call my own

Gonna get up in the morning
And rub my head
I`m looking for a love
To call my own

Fix my breakfast
And bring it to my bed
I`m looking for a love
To call my own

Do my love
Do it all the time
I`m looking for a love
To call my own

With lots of love and kisses
But people until then
I`m looking for a love
To call my own

(CHORUS)

Stay in my corner
All the way, yeah
I`m looking for a love
To call my own

Stick by me, baby
No matter what they say
I`m looking for a love
To call my own

I`ll give my love
To her all the time
I`m looking for a love
To call my own

Loving, kissing
People on the way
I`m looking for a love
To call my own

(CHORUS)

Somebody help me
To find my baby
I said I`ve got to find
My baby right now

I`m looking in the morning
I`m looking at night
Got to find my baby
But she`s nowhere in sight

Somebody help me
To find my baby
I said I`ve got to find
My baby right now

I`m looking in the morning
I`m looking at night
Got to find my baby
She`s nowhere in sight





I`m looking, I`m looking
I`m looking, I`m looking......
