I’m inside a French hotel
Le Metro here, it ain’t the L
I’m just waiting for the spell
of this town to take over
I am gonna make it meek
I am gonna pinch its cheek
I am gonna take a leak on some flowers like Picassso

I keep looking
I keep on looking
I keep looking
I keep on looking
But I can’t find nobody better than you

Right now I’m stayin’ in
But tomorrow gonna send
Something to you in the mail
But honey if I fail
It’s just because I drank too much
Or ate too much or laughed too much
Or danced too much or sang too much
Or cried too much or seen too much

I keep looking
I keep on looking
I keep looking
I keep on looking
But I can’t find nobody better than you

Everything is far away
That’s just how it is today
Even them folks down the way
Might as well be in Bombay

This river here runs through the town
This river here is quite reknowned
Everyone wears American shoes
To dance away their American blues

Now I’m at Pont St. Michel
I’m supposed to meet Jacques Brel
Someone better ring that bell
To proclaim my arrival

Look at those leaves in the light
Cezanne’d know how to paint ‘em right
But it’s just you and me tonight
Together in distant moonlight

I keep looking, I keep on looking
I keep looking, I keep on looking
But I can’t find, no body
Better than you

(lyrics: Dan Bern)
