I searched in the church, dated teachers from schools
Picked up women in bars and broke nearly all the rules
Searched hard in the Southland, even looked up north
Thought of messin’ with Texas till I lost my dang horse
Took out witches from a coven, nurses from the doc
Kissed a Swedish stewardess, I’ve been around the block
CHORUS
All this time I’ve been searching for you
Looking high and low with never a clue
I looked so hard to find the perfect wife
Where you been hidin’ all my life?
I searched in the hills, I scouted out the lake
Looked twice at the beaches where the lookin’s really great
I looked overseas in lots of different lands
The fillies in the Phillippines and all through Japan
Stumbled though the jungle chopping bushes for a peek
Even sifted through the sands, now stop this hide and seek
(to CHORUS)
BRIDGE
Then I did something I never did before
I turned my head and looked next door
I’ve been lookin’ so hard to find the perfect wife
Well, there you’ve been hidin’ all my life (to CHORUS)
