I've looked for love most everywhere
I've checked right here and over there
And every time I think it's mine
I lose it
Finally I realized
That true love is more like true lies
And if I give it a try
I lose it
Then I thought I'll just change the plot
Oh if love's not real I'll do what I feel
I'll tell a tale in which I fail
To lose it
It seems to be that pure hearts beat in only yarn we spin
And beauty flows from nowhere from a pen
I've been searching for the words so long ago life took
Now I know where to look
In the pages of a book
Now it's done, I've given up the chase
Stuck the roses back in their vase
I'll never knock or ring your bell again
