Lyrics
Heads are knockin'
heads are knockin'
we beat each other to the ground
seems we didn't know there's
enough love to get around
(this thing, this problem,
that we created, yes we did
The huggin' and kissin' wasn't missin'
but we knew it was time for a change,
I didn't figure we would lynch each others'
hearts and hold them up for display
(it was ugly and mean.
I know I lied to you,
then you did the same to me)
We're lookin' for something
we want the same thing
Lookin' for something
we want the same thing
When you told me you
made it with someone else
you acted so justified
Then your fantasy blew up in your face
Smoke cleared and left a hole inside
(Was this really about you
I know it wasn't 'bout me
Because in the end you found
another thing you really don't need
I put my life in order.
Didn't put my life on hold
Then I found my "someone else"
moved on but let the truth be told
(my brain must be made of jello,
It's hard to let go,
'cause I knew we were good
You know, real good!)
We're lookin' for something
We want the same thing
You looked around now you know
we had the best thing......
You looked around
It wasn't love
you threw me away
but maybe now you know
I gave you enough
of the best things
You'll never find another me...
**We gotta breathe baby
on our own
Had to step away for the
truth to show
By lookin' for something else
We let go of the best thing,
our bird in the hand
left to starving
Lookin for Somethin'
We want the same thing......LOVE!!
Lookin' for something
we want the same thing
Lookin' for something
we want love
We want the same thing
We want the best thing
Lookin for something
We want love
