I met a girl from China
She became a friend
When I learned to understand her
There was much to comprehend
I'd sympathise with her stories
She'd laugh at my jokes
So many things about that time
Her memory evokes
I said
Just like me you get angry, like me you get mad
Just like me you're happy, then you're a little sad
We can blow smoke rings from the same cigarette
We can write a song, maybe a little duet
She said
Eyes that are shut they will never see
If you want the fruit you gotta shake the tree
Everyone in the world's playing blind man's buff
You're just like me, you're just looking for love
Then I met a man from Africa, Dakar, Senegal
Apart from the colour of his skin he was like a man I knew from Montreal
I said
Do you get scared? So do I
Think there's nothing there? So do I
And then he said
Have you ever faked love, me too
Give not enough, I do
Do you state your case well so do I
Then close your mind to the reply
Have you said there's no God then prayed at night
I have, I do and again I might
Do you wanna cry when you feel afraid
And kept your tears inside and there they stayed
Do you get so angry you can't understand
You do, I do, so does every other man
In France or Spain or Timbuctoo
What's inside of him is inside of you
And inside of me is in every other
Whoever you are, you're my mother
My father, my sister, my brother
Just like me you get angry, like me you get mad
Just like me you're happy, then you're a little sad
We can blow smoke rings from the same cigarette
We can write a song, maybe a little duet
Eyes that are shut they will never see
If you want the fruit you gotta shake the tree
Everyone in the world's playing blind man's buff
You're just like me, you're just looking for love
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Looking for love for love for love for love, oh
Looking for love for love for love for love, oh
Looking for love for love for love for love, yeah
Looking for love for love for love for love, oh?
