Looking For A Good Sign
Daryl Hall · Other Songs - Daryl Hall
Looking for a sign from you
What you want? Where you goin'?
What you thinking about? A lot of good it will do
Why are you fighting me?
Why are you teasing me?
Why are you wearing me?
If you're not at ease with me
I'm lookin' for a good sign
I know that it might be a waste of my time
I'm always looking for a good sign
I've gotta keep on tryin'
Beware of the curves, always signal your turns
Soft shoulders slow you down, you know
There are signs to explain all conditions on the way
There's where to stop and which way to go
Why are you fighting me?
Why are you teasing me?
Why are you wearing me?
If you're not at ease with me
I'm lookin' for a good sign
I know that it might be a waste of my time
I'm always looking for a good sign
I've gotta keep on tryin', oh yeah, oh yeah
Baby baby
It's so hard to say if there's a better way
Should we have signed off before
I've got a lot in my heart, there's a light in your eyes
Do you think that there could be some more?
Why are you fighting me?
Why are you teasing me?
Why are you wearing me?
If you're not at ease with me
I'm lookin' for a good sign
And I know that it might be a waste of my time
I'm always looking for a good sign
I've gotta keep on tryin'
I'm lookin' for a good sign
I know it's just a waste of my time
I'm always looking for a good sign
Keep on tryin'
Looking for a good sign
Looking for a good sign
Looking for a good sign
