Up in the sky
Deep in the sea
I'm looking for love
Where can it be?

Been everywhere
And I've asked everyone
I'm looking for love
But love never comes

Day after day
The need in me grows
The more that I need
The more that it shows

Lone will I be
Cannot survive
I need someone
To keep me alive

Looking for love
Looking for love
Yeah yeah, looking for love
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Up in the sky
Deep in the sea
I'm looking for love
Where can it be?

I've been 'round the world
I've asked everyone
I'm looking for love
But love never comes

The Babys are a British rock band most famous for their hit songs “Every Time I Think of You” and “Isn’t it Time”. The band featured vocalist John Waite, and future Journey keyboardist Jonathan Cain.

The band’s name was originally a joke that stuck. According to Waite:

We took the name simply because the record companies wouldn’t listen to any bands they thought were rock & roll. I mean, they wanted sure-fire teen bands, pre-teen bands. We couldn’t get anybody down to hear us to get a record deal, so we called ourselves The Babys. We thought we’d keep the name just for two weeks. Then, the word got around in London that there was a band playing rock & roll called The Babys and it seemed so off the wall, so completely crazy, that it was worth taking a shot with. It really appealed to everyone’s sense of humor.
