Lyrics
I went walkin’, but I got sore feet
I was hungry, but there was nothin’ to eat
I spent all my money on the wrong kinda cool
I’ve been hurt so bad, been everybody’s fool
I’ve been workin’ the wrong kinda grind
I’ve been yearnin’ for the right thing to find
Been a long time comin’ but I know this is true
Didn’t have nothin’ ‘til I found you
When you’re lookin’, you ain’t findin’
The love you need in your life
But there you were standin’
With your big blue eyes
She’s not yours, no she’s mine, all mine!
I’m going walkin’ with a fire in my shoes
Both us together, babe, I know we can’t lose
Be no more sorrow, be no more tears
Cuz I will love you, love you, love you
Forever my dear
When you’re lookin’, you ain’t findin’
The love you need in your life
But there you were standin’
With your hair piled high
She’s not yours, no she’s mine, all mine!
I’m going walkin’ with a fire in my shoes
Both us together, babe, I know we can’t lose
Be no more sorrow, be no more tears
Cuz I will love you, love you, love you
Forever my dear
I will love you, love you
Forever my dear
