(L. E. White)      Everybody I know is a looking for love   But they don't know how they give it   Everybody is a looking for more out of life   But they don't know how they live it.      Like everything else if we don't return it   The love's gonna run out fast   We gotta puttin' more in than we take out   If we want love to last.      Well, if it don't rain we might go   To church to put in a dollar bill   Shake the preacher's hand and ask him for dinner   But really hope he never will.      Then we wonder why we don't get ahead   As life keeps on passin' us by   We keep a looking for things that we can't find   And keep on wondering why.      Everybody I know is a looking for love   But they don't know how they give it   Everybody is a looking for more out of life   But they don't know how they live it.      Well, we can't afford just to take a little time   To help a poor soul in need   We do just enough to heed our conscience   In the world of hate and greed.      What we needed for love was the cause of   The color of the mam we walk right past   We gotta puttin' more in than we take out   If we want love to last.      Everybody I know is a looking for love   But they don't know how they give it   Everybody is a looking for more out of life   But they don't know how they live it...
