I was a bum, I told a lie
I did you wrong, I made you cry


So now I'm walkin' all alone
Down the darkest streets in town
Standin' in the rain

While my tears keep fallin' down

I'm soul searchin'

How could I say goodbye?
Soul searchin'
And make you cry?


How could I leave somebody like you?
What kind of fool would be so untrue?


And I can't make any sense
No matter how I try

And all the things I've done
Come back to haunt me by and by


Soul searchin'

There's nobody like my baby

Soul searchin'
It's gonna drive me crazy


Why, oh, why
Did I ever, ever say goodbye?
I must be out of my mind

I keep walkin' and I'm wonderin'
And I'm looking for a sign


Why do I get all the bad breaks?
How could I make such stupid mistakes?


But the truth won't come to me
No matter how I rack my brain
The rain keeps fallin' down

And I'm callin' out your name

Soul searchin'

There's nobody like my baby
Soul searchin'
It's gonna drive me crazy
