I'm tired of waiting
An' closing my eyes
I'm asking myself
Why is it all my horizons
Are so far away
I look in the mirror
Don't like what I see
In my reflection
A stranger is staring at me
Looking for love
The love of a woman
The needs of a man
And I try so hard to believe
But I don't understand
The search goes on
But over the mountains
Across the sea
I know love is waiting
I hear it calling to me
Calling my name
I'm looking for love all around me
Looking for love to surround me
The love that I need
To rescue the state of my heart, yeah
Alone again, it's always the same
Well, I've just been marking my time
Since the day I was born
With no one to blame
The candle is burning
It's way down low
I just need someone
To show me the way
The way to go, which way to go
I'm looking for love all around me
Looking for love to surround me
The love that I need
To rescue the state of my heart
I'm looking for love
An' finding only heartache
I'm looking for love
An' finding only heartache
I'm looking for love to rely on
Looking for love, a shoulder to cry on
I'm looking for love
To rescue the state of my heart
To rescue the state of my heart
I'm looking for love
An' finding only heartache
I'm looking for love
An' finding only heartache
I'm looking for love to rely on
Looking for love, a shoulder to cry on
I'm looking for love
To rescue the state of my heart
I'm looking for love
An' finding only heartache
I'm looking for love
An' finding only heartache
I'm looking for love to rely on
Looking for love, a shoulder to cry on
I'm looking for love
To rescue the state of my heart
To rescue the state of my heart
To rescue the state of my heart
To rescue the state of my heart

Whitesnake

Whitesnake are a rock band formed in England in 1978 by David Coverdale, after his departure from his previous band Deep Purple. Their early material has been compared by critics to the blues rock of Deep Purple, but they slowly began moving toward a more commercially accessible rock style. By the turn of the decade, the band’s commercial fortunes changed and they released a string of UK top 10 albums, Ready an' Willing (1980), Come an' Get It (1981), Saints & Sinners (1982) and Slide It In (1984), the last of which was their first to chart in the US and is certified 2x platinum.
