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?
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
