You may be lookin’ for me but I ain’t lookin’ for you
I’m still lookin’ for myself and I ain’t got time to look for nobody else
When I found who I am and where I am
And if you come round again maybe then baby maybe then
You wanna follow me but honey can’t you see
I don’t know where the hell I’m goin’
How can I know your mind when I don’t even know my own
Now when the road gets tough or when I get enough
Or maybe when I reach the end maybe then baby maybe then
So stick around or go away whichever one you choose
You ain’t got a single thing that I think I can use
And you and I ain’t shared a thing that I’m afraid to lose
You say that you love me but I don’t love you
I love someone I never seen as she lives in a place that I never been
When I realize it’s all in my eyes
Just one great big patent maybe then maybe then
Maybe then maybe then maybe then but I won’t say when
Maybe then baby maybe then

Some external links: The Bat’s Poetry Cave. — Fledermaus’s poetry site. Talking Writing Monster. — the irreverent and irrelevant chatter on subjects both serious and not quite. A free for all board. You can scribble anything on it without registration (but it doesn’t let spammers in). You can even post your poems. Qwant.com. — a search engine from France. It’s an alternative because there are a few alternatives, like Bing, Duckduckgo, and Ecosia. And there is Yandex, the ultimate language-oriented search engine for the Russophone world. Commercial Links: Russian Commerce – the foreign trade assistance agency Other links: Poems and poetry in Russian (if you are reading this in English, as you obviously are, then you’d have to switch the language, the language switch is on the menu.
