Bridge

I’ve been looking sad in all the nicest places
Baby, baby, I feel crazy
I see you around in all these empty faces
Up all night, all night and every day
I’ve been looking sad in all the nicest places
Give me somethin’, oh, but you say nothin’
Now I’m in a cab, I tell ’em where your place is
What is happening to me?
