Something to Live For

I have almost everything a human could desire
Cars and houses, bare skin, rugs to lie before my fire
But there's something missing
Something isn't there
It seems I'm never kissing the one whom I could care for

I want something to live for
Someone to make my life an adventurous dream
Oh, what wouldn't I give for someone who'd take my life?
And make it seem gay as they say it ought to be

Why can't I have love like that brought to me?
My eye is watching the noon crowd
Searching the promenade
Seeking a clue
To the one who will someday be mine
Something to live for
