Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh

As I walk this land of broken dreams (broken dreams)

I have visions of many things (so many things)

But happiness is just an illusion (just an illusion)

Filled with sadness and confusion (and confusion)

What becomes of the brokenhearted

Who had love that's now departed?

I know I've got to find some kind of peace of mind, baby

The roots of love grow all around (all around)

But for me, they come a tumblin' down (come tumblin' down)

Every day, heartaches grow stronger (just a little stronger)

I can't stand this pain much longer (much longer)

I walk in shadows searching for light (searching for the light)

Cold and alone, no comfort in sight (no comfort in sight)

Hoping and praying for someone to care (someone who care)

Always moving and going nowhere (going nowhere)

What becomes of the brokenhearted

Who had love that's now departed?

I know I've got to find some kind of peace of mind

Help me

I'm searching, though I don't succeed (don't succeed)

For someone's love, there's a growing need (such a growing need)

All is lost, there's no place for beginning (no beginning)

All that's left is an unhappy ending (unhappy ending)

What becomes of the brokenhearted

Who had love that's now departed?

I know I've got to find some kind of peace of mind

I'll be searching everywhere just to find someone who cares

I'll be looking every day

I know I'm gonna find a way

Nothing's gonna stop me now

I'll find a way somehow

I'll be searching everywhere (what becomes)

Until I find someone who cares (of the brokenhearted?)

I know I'll find my way (who had love)

I'm gonna find my way (that's now departed?)

I'm gonna find my way (I know I've got to find)

I'm gonna find my way (some kind of peace of mind)

I'm gonna find my way (I'll be searching everywhere)

I'm gonna find my way (just to find someone who cares)

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh
