Looking at You Lyrics by MC5

Back in the USA

1970

[Verse 1]
When it happened
Something snapped inside, made me want to hide
All alone on my own
All alone on my own
I stood up on the stand with my eyes shut tight
Didn't want to see anybody feeling happy
Having a good time now, hey
Doing alright, doing alright
A-doing alright, doing alright

[Verse 2]
Glanced hard into the dancing crowd
Felt like screaming out loud
I saw you standing there, I saw your long
Saw your long hair
Opened up my eyes, baby
You made me realize all I want to do now
All I want to do now, girl
Is look at you, looking at you, baby
A-look at you, looking at you, baby
Yeah, yeah, hey

[Verse 3]
Glanced hard into the dancing crowd
I felt like screaming out loud
All I wanna do, all I wanna do
All I want to do
Is look at you, looking at you, baby
A-look at you, looking at you, baby
Looking at you
Looking at you
Looking at you, baby
You, baby, you, baby, you, baby, yeah
