Artist/Band: Gilbert O'Sullivan
Lyrics for Song: Looking (At Tale Of Two Meanings)
Lyrics for Album: Life & Rhymes [1982]



I'm looking for a man who knows how to finish

Better than to begin

I'm looking for a girl whose age is Virginia

Name around seventeen

I'm looking for a tie that won't get knotted

One that will not be four making five

On I've a reason you see

That's good. tell me where's the door



I like to think it's time I stopped interfering

In peoples private lives

I like to think the bits I find fascinating

Ought to decrease in size

I like to think but then you tell me who doesn't

And I'll tell you a tale/tail

Is the part you start with when you begin

Or brush If your dog's on sale



I like to think but then you tell me who doesn't

And I'll tell you a sale

Is the time you find out everything's cheap

Only prices remain unchanged



I'm wondering If the girl I married this morning

Wants us to get divorced

I'm wondering If the child we both plan on having

Shouldn't be ordered first

I'm wondering If the pain I have In my left leg

isn't just In my head

Which Is fine. don't mind as long as I'm here

I might as well stay myself
