New York City, 'bout a quarter to five

She gets up and she leaves the room

She hits the subway and she risks her life

And dresses up in cheap perfume

Ah, whatever is good for ya, baby

'Cause family didn't treat you right

Ah, whatever is good for ya, baby

That's all I want

As you're walkin', oh, so right

So many other sweet delights

'Cause, baby, you'll be searchin', searchin'

Searchin' through the night

'Cause, baby, you'll be searchin', searchin'

Searchin' with all your might for Mr. Right

Hey, now, baby, when you gonna learn

You said you need to go and find yoursеlf

Played with fire, but now you got burned

Your brokеn heart's still on the shelf

Ah whatever is good for ya, baby

'Cause family don't treat you right

Ah whatever is good for ya, baby

That's all I want

As you're walkin', oh, so right

So many other sweet delights

'Cause, baby, you'll be searchin', searchin'

Searchin' through the night

'Cause, baby, you'll be searchin', searchin'

Searchin' with all your might for Mr. Right

Baby, you'll be searchin'

Ooh-ooh...

Baby, you'll be searchin', yeah

Baby, you'll be searchin'

Searchin', yeah

Cuz baby you'll be searchin'

Through the night

Yeah, yeah, yeah

'Cause, baby, you'll be searchin', searchin'

Searchin' through the night

'Cause, baby, you'll be searchin', searchin'

Searchin' with all your might for Mr. Right

Baby, you'll be searchin'

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, babe

'Cause, baby, you'll be searchin'

Through the night

'Cause, baby, you'll be searchin'

For Mr. Right

Mmm-mm-mm-mmm-mmm...
