Everybody's Looking For The Same Thing Songtext
von Marcia Ball

Well look at that dog
Diggin′ in the yard
What you think he's after now?
Well his head is a-saggin′
His tail is a-draggin'
He's one discontented hound
Now he′s starin′ out the fence
It doesn't make sense
What could he be thinkin′ of?

He's like a young girl waitin′ for the phone to ring

Everybody's lookin′ for the same thing
And that's love

Well now people when you talk about happiness
It's a matter of degree
I′ve got it better than the other guy
And you got it better than me
It′s a house with heat
Some food to eat
A roof up above


But there's still somethin′ missin'
It′s that huggin' and a-kissin′

Everybody's lookin' for the same thing, sis
And that′s love

Oh that′s love

Well you can't get it in the lost and found
It′s not hidden in the closet
Or buried in the ground
And it'll make you sing
I got the world on a string

That′s why everybody's lookin′ for the same old thing

Well hell the gambler's always drawin' for a winnin′ card
The rooster′s out lookin' for a hen
Everybody′s wishin' on a shootin′ star
Me and the Marines just want a few good men
And it's a well known fact that it leads the pack
When push comes to shove
And it may sound funny but I don′t mean money
Makes the dark clouds lift and the days all sunny

Everybody's lookin' for the same thing, honey

That′s love


Oh yeah, that′s love
Oh baby love
