Smokey Robinson
I Can’t Find
[Verse 1]
Every now and then
Somebody comes into my life
Oh, and for a little while, it seems
They're the answer to my dreams to my prayer
As sudden as they come, they start to fade
Like floating smoke rings
Oh, how can they stay with me when
They're only penciled in
Though you're gone, you're always there

[Chorus]
I can't find my way to our very special somewhere
(I can't find) Myself, 'cause without you, I'm just out there
(I can't find) That person I wanna put that much in
(I can't find) Anybody like you, who makes touchin' more than touchin'

[Verse 2]
Take me in your arms, hold me close
I need to feel you
Oh, to me, there's nothing like your touch
It's what I need so much
Oh, yes, I do, my love

[Bridge]
So I say oh, my love, if you can find it in your heart
To do just one thing for me, come back (Come back)
Come back (Come back), come back (Come back)
Come back
[Chorus]
(I can't find) Sleep at night, I'm either watchin' TV or walkin'
(I can't find) Any conversation that means more to me than talkin'
(I can't find) Satisfaction, even when I do surrender
(I can't find) Anybody like you who makes tender more than tender
Oh, oh, ooh

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
I've been lookin', there's just nobody around, oh, no, no
No sense lookin' for who can never be found, oh, ooh

[Chorus]
(I can't find) Anybody like you who gets my full attention
(I can't find) Anybody who means enough for me to mention
(I can't find) That person, who makes me wanna surrender
(I can't find) Anybody like you, who makes tender more than tender

[Outro]
I've been lookin', there's just nobody around
No sense lookin' for who can never be found
Yeah, yes
(I can't find) Well, well, well
(I can't find) Ooh
(I can't find)
