What Becomes of the Brokenhearted

As I walk this land of broken dreams
I have visions of many things
'Cause happiness is just an illusion
Filled with sadness and confusion

What becomes of the brokenhearted
Who had love that's now departed?
I know I've got to find
Some kind of peace of mind
Baby

Between 1963 and today
There have been twenty-four Temptations
The whole is always greater than the sum of its parts
We've outlasted so many groups
And it cost something
Maybe everything we had
But you can't do much better than being called
The number one group in the history of rhythm and blues!
That's what we did
Together!

Blue, Corn, Paul, Ruffin
The foundation
I never meant to be the last one standing
Thought my brothers would live forever
But I guess the only thing that really lives forever
Is the music

What becomes of the brokenhearted
Who had love that's now departed
I know I've got to find
Some kind of peace of mind
Baby

I've been searching everywhere (got to find)
Just to find someone to care (got to find)
I've been looking every day (got to find)
I know I've got to find a way (oh, I'm searching)
Searching (got to find)
I've got to find (got to find)
Yeah (Got to find, oh I'm searchin')

Got to find, got to find
Got to find, whoa I'm searching
I'm searching every day, every way (got to find got to find)
Got to find, oh I'm searching

Nothing's gonna stop me now
I'll find a way somehow

Sometimes I look at this next generation of Temptations
And I wonder what new mountains they'll climb
Well, whatever their journey, they'll always have
Our foundation
A little bit of funk
Oh, a lot of love
A well of soul
And some of the smoothest moves
Ever known to five men and a mic!
