We're through,
Love is a thing of the past for us!
We're through,
It was too lovely to last for us!
And since you're gone,
Here's what I do with my time,
I walk around in a daze,
Maybe I'm crazy, but I'm;

Looking around corners for you,
I'm a fool but what can I do?
Ever since the day you went,
I'm wondering the way you went,
Looking around corners for you.

Looking around corners for you,
Hoping that you'll pop into view!
Searching for a trace of you,
To see that lovely face of you,
Looking around corners for you.

I think I'll tell the Missing Person Bureau,
You're a person that I'm missing so!
Why must I weep on
The pillow I sleep on?
Tell me my darling, how long must I keep on

Looking around corners for you?
It's raining though the skies above are blue!
And the sun ain't gonna shine again
Until you say you're mine again!
Looking around corners,
Looking in windows,
Searching,
Waiting,
Helpless,
Hopeless,
Looking around corners for you!

Looking around corners for you?
It's raining though the skies above are blue!
And the sun ain't gonna shine again
Until you say you're mine again!
Looking around corners,
Looking in windows,
Searching,
Waiting,
Helpless,
Hopeless,
Looking around corners for you!
