Lyrics

I want to, I need to, I got to move on down the line

Expressing a desire to move forward in life.

If not to, to make me, I should have stood behind the lines

Reflecting on a missed opportunity and the consequences of not taking a stand.

What is this, what have I, what am I? Not what you see

Pondering existential questions about identity and self-awareness.

So take me, so use me, I'm stupid, I don't want to

Conveying vulnerability and a reluctance to be used or taken advantage of.


Oh, lookin' for love

Repetition of the desire to find love, suggesting a persistent quest for emotional fulfillment.

Oh, lookin' for love

-

Oh, lookin' for love

-

Oh, lookin' for love

-

A standard, a program, religion burns me at the stake

Exploring the conflict between personal beliefs and societal expectations, using religious imagery.

I questioned, I listened, I worshiped, how can I relate?

Expressing doubt and a struggle to relate to or align with a specific belief system.

I worked so hard at it, oh Lord, the bruises and the burns

Describing the effort invested in faith, with physical and emotional scars as a result.

I just don't, don't get it, I guess I lost my faith

Admitting a lack of understanding and a loss of faith in the face of challenges.


Oh, lookin' for love

Continuation of the search for love, possibly as a means of filling the void left by lost faith.

Oh, lookin' for love

-

Woh oh, lookin' for love

-

Oh, lookin' for love

-

Lookin', lookin', lookin'

Repetition of the word "lookin'" intensifies the focus on the search for love.

Lookin', lookin', lookin'

-

Oh, lookin' for love

Reiteration of the ongoing quest for love, emphasizing the emotional significance of the search.

Woh, lookin' for love

-

Woh oh, lookin' for love

-

Oh, lookin' for love

-

Yeah

Adding a moment of affirmation or acknowledgment to the search for love.


Oh, lookin' for love

Final repetition of the theme, underscoring the persistent longing for love.

Woh oh, lookin' for love

-

Woh oh, lookin' for love

-

Oh, lookin' for love
