Keep Looking

Lyrics

Keep Looking

[Verse 1]

Some will tell you that you're wrong

You do it all the wrong way

Some will tell you that you're wrong

That you don't know the way

[Pre-Chorus]

They enjoy cheapness

Don't show your weakness

Don't let them bother you, no

They enjoy cheapness

Don't show your weakness

Oh no, no

[Chorus]

It's no use sitting down

Don't walk 'round with a frown

Oh no (Ah), keep looking

It's no use sitting around

With your head in your hands

Oh no (Ah), keep looking

[Post-Chorus]

Say let my life alone

[Verse 2]

Some will tell you that you're wrong

You do it all the wrong way

Some will tell you that you're wrong

That you don't know the way

[Bridge]

Don't lay awake at night

Thinking about your worries

Thinking about your problems

Don't lay awake at night

Thinking about your worries

Keep looking

Don't lay awake at night

Thinking about your problems

Thinking about your troubles

Don't lay awake at night

Thinking about your problems

[Outro]

If you never let it show

They're never gonna know

Ah, ah (Ah), keep looking

If you never let it show

They're never gonna know

Ah, ah (Ah), keep looking

Oh no, keep looking

(Oh, oh, ah, yeah) Keep looking

(Oh) Keep looking
