Lyrics
We’re thru
Love is a thing of the past for us
We’re thru
It was too lovely to last for us
And since you’re gone
Here’s what I do with my time
I walk around in a daze
Maybe I’m crazy but I’m
CHORUS
Lookin’ around corners for you
I’m a fool but what can I do?
Ever since the day you went
I’m wondering the way you went
Lookin’ around corners for you
Lookin’ around corners for you
Hopin’ that you’ll pop into view
Searching for a trace of you
To see that lovely face of you
Lookin’ around corners for you
I think I’ll tell the Missing Person Bureau
You’re a person that I’m missing so
Why must I weep on the pillow I sleep on
Tell me my darling how long must I keep on
Lookin’ around corners for you
It’s rainin’ tho’ the skies above are blue
And the sun ain’t gonna shine again
Until you say you’re mine again
Lookin’ around corners, lookin’ in windows
Searching, waiting, hopeless, helpless
Lookin’ around corners for you
