Jamie O'Neal - Trying To Find Atlantis lyrics

rate me

I hear he's out there somewhere.

Been looking for him everywhere,

From Roswell to Timbuctoo.

I thought I found him once at a Jiffy lube.

But it turned into a dead end,

So I got my oil changed and I tried again.

He was a major in archeology;

I was diggin' on him but he wasn't on me.

A girl tryin' to find herself the perfect man,

Is like tryin' to find Atlantis.

It's a mystery like the deep blue sea,

You can take it, you can leave it, but I still believe,

So I won't give up and I won't give in:

I know I'm gonna find him, I just don't know when.

A girl tryin' to find herself the perfect man,

Is like tryin' to find Atlantis.

Yeah, I met a mystic down in Memphis,

We stood at the foot of the pyramid.

He had me looking east, had me looking west,

Then he showed me a map and said: "I wish you the best."

An' there was Elvis, not the real one:

When he told me goodbye, he called me "Hon'".

Just another shot in the dark,

Like Eldorado or Noah's Ark.

A girl tryin' to find herself the perfect man,

Is like tryin' to find Atlantis.

It's a mystery like the deep blue sea,

You can take it, you can leave it, but I still believe,

So I won't give up and I won't give in:

I know I'm gonna find him, I just don't know when.

A girl tryin' to find herself the perfect man,

Is like tryin' to find Atlantis.

Instrumental break.

(Ah ha, you know that's right.)

Oh yes.

It's a mystery like the deep blue sea,

You can take it, you can leave it, but I still believe,

So I won't give up and I won't give in:

I know I'm gonna find him, I just don't know when.

A girl tryin' to find herself the perfect man,

Is like tryin' to find Atlantis.

I said a girl tryin' to find herself the perfect man,

Is like tryin' to find Atlantis.

Tryin' to find Atlantis., yeah.

Ah, I'm still tryin' to find Atlantis, yeah.
