I have almost everything
a human could desire
Cars and houses,
bear-skin rugs to lie before my fire
But there's something missing
Something isn't there
It seems I'm never kissing
the one whom I care for
I want something to live for
Someone to make my life
an adventurous dream
Oh, what wouldn't I give for
Someone who'd take my life
And make it seem gay
as they say it ought to be
Why can't I have love like
that brought to me?
My eye is watching
the noon crowds
Searching the promenades
seeking a clue
To the one who will someday
be my something to live for
I want something to live for
Someone to make my life
an adventurous dream
Oh, what wouldn't I give for
Someone who'd take my life
And make it seem gay
as they say it ought to be
Why can't I have love like
that brought to me?
