  • I've been looking for a lover
    But I haven't met her yet
    She'll be nothing like I pictured her to be
    In her eyes I will discover
    Another reason why
    I want to live and make the best of what I see

    Where the sun hits the water
    And the mountains meet the sand
    There's a beach that I walk along sometimes
    And maybe there I'll meet her
    And we'll start to say "hello"
    And never stop to think of any other time

    Looking' for a love that's right for me
    I don't know how long it's gonna be
    But I hope I treat her kind
    And don't mess with her mind
    When she starts to see the darker side of me

    Looking' for a love that's right for me
    I don't know how long it's gonna to be
    But I hope I treat her kind
    And don't mess with her mind
    When she starts to see the darker side of me

    I've been looking for a lover
    But I haven't met her yet
    She'll be nothing like I pictured her to be
    In her eyes, I will discover
    Another reason why
    I want to live and make the best of what I see

    Ah, ah, ah
    Ah, ah, ah
    Ah, ah, ah (don't mess with her mind)
    Ah, ah, ah (when she starts to see the darker side of me) Writer/s: Neil Young
