Me and my baby are through
D E
She was my love my one and only
D E
I feel so bad I'm oh so lonely
A E7 A
I'm looking for my love
I've got my own headlines for today
They've been the same since she went away
"One dark haired angel disappears
Seems like She's been gone a million years"

So long goodbye
Paper boy paper boy
Thanks for listening while I cry
I feel a little better now that someone knows
But I will go on looking forever, I suppose
I'm looking for my love

My baby's gone and I wanna shout it
I'm looking for my love
I'm looking for my love....
