You're What I Look For

(album: The Thin Red Line - 1986)

When you walked into the room I saw their faces
You made it seem like time was standing still
And I felt fascination
Though I knew you just casually

So I slowly made my way to where you were standing
The hounds were gathered near, I didn't care
And you sensed desperation
My heart gave me away
And then you said

You're what I look for
Je pense que je t'adore
You're what I look for, lately

When our eyes met in conversation
Oh, I tried to smile, you looked the other way
You make situations
Seem like love affairs
And then you said

You're what I look for
Je pense que je t'adore
You're what I look for, lately

Now it's over (it's over)
It's over (it's over)
Oh, it's over (it's over)
Oh

You're what I look for
You're what I look for
You're what I look for, lately
Oh
You're what I look for
You're what I look for
You're what I look for, lately
Oh...
