Al Staehely - Don't Go Lookin' for Love Lyrics

Don'tcha go lookin' for love 'cuz you know it's bad luck
If you go lookin' for love, its gonna run and hide
Dont'cha go lookin' for love, 'cuz you'll never find it
'Cuz everybody knows, that when you're lookin
When you're lookin you can't get nothin' cookin' with love

Dont'cha go chasin' at love, cuz you'll never catch it
You'll only catch it when you trip and fall
But when you ain't lookin' for love
It'll sneak up behind you
So dont'cha go lookin, cuz I'll tell you this
When you're lookin', you can't even find a kiss
Let alone love

I've had my share of love and I know what I'm sayin'
Sure I've loved and lost but I won me a few
I looked night after night in all the right places
I went to Chicago I looked on the South side
I went to New York City and Detroit too
I traveled to Hollywood, might say I was a troubadour for love
I went back home to Texas just lookin for love
Everybody knows that when you're lookin'
When you're lookin, you can't get nothin' cookin' with love

(solo)

One day I quit lookin' for love and to my surprise
I found myself staring in my true love's eyes
You see love snook up on me without a sound
And it pushed me head over heels
Down, down, down on the ground
