You’re Just What I Was Looking For Today

The Everly Brothers

Compositor: Carole King / Gerry Goffin

Hey little woman
You’re just what I was lookin’ for today
I needed someone
And you’re just what I was lookin’ for today
Good things seem to happen to you
When you just happen to
Run across them in life
But if you wait too long you know that
When you turn around you
Find you have lost them in life
The sun may have to shine
But the visions in my eyes were painted grey
Now it’s a silver lining
You’re just what I was lookin’ for today
We could drift away together
Where you and I could be alone
Nothing that is real applies
Underneath the nothing-matters skies
We could sit and fantasize a world of our own
Good things seem to happen to you
When you just happen to
Run across them in life
But if you wait too long you know that
When you turn around you
Find you have lost them in life
Ah, you’re just what I was lookin’ for today
You’re just what I was lookin’ for today
You’re just what I was lookin’ for today
You’re just what I was lookin’ for today
You’re just what I was lookin’ for today…
