Everybody knows I'm looking for Alice.
Have you seen her in my eyes?
And I'm looking for her with every door that opens,
And I'm looking to the sky.
She may be down in some dark palace
Living in a wonderland that only she can see.
Everybody knows I'm looking for Alice.
Nobody knows she's looking for me.

I broke down, I went down on my knees
When I came home and found you were gone from me.
If you'd been around I know you'd have heard my plea,
So I wrote it in a letter that I know you'll never read.
Yeah, I wrote it in a note that I know you'll never---
Ah, baby it hurts so good,
When I wrote it in a letter that I know you'll never read.

So, I hope you don't mind if it comes in on your radio,
Saying this is Daddy John and I miss my baby so.
There's a little bit of her in everyone I meet I'm sure,
And I guess by now there's a little of everyone in her.

Everybody knows I'm looking for Alice.
Have you seen her in my eyes?
And I'm looking for her in everyone I meet now, now
And I'm looking to the sky.
She may be down in some Hollywood palace
Living in a wonderland only she can see.
Everybody knows I'm looking for Alice.
Nobody knows she's looking for me.

So take care, take just what you need.
You know I'll always be there and you'll always be here with me.
You got those big pretty eyes and the future is plain to see.
There will be a meeting of the minds in the ultimate reality.
You see, I wrote it in a note that I'll know you'll never read.
I wrote it in a letter that I know you'll never---
Ah, baby it hurts so good.
When I wrote it in a note that I know you'll never read
all about the way you are and that way I wanna be.
I wrote it in a letter that I know you'll never read.
