Laura Branigan - Looking Out For Number One [Silver Dreams, 1981]

03 Looking Out For Number One

[@TheKevinKitchen]

This is a song I wrote and released in 1978 on ICE Records through ABC Records. It got to I think about No 76 in the UK charts. Quite ba cult record.. Great version by Laura.

I did some research and came to the conclusion that you're just making stuff up and trying to take credit for songs that don't belong to you. This song is credited to American songwriters Bill Bodine and Jack Tempchin. You (Kevin Kitchen) aren't either of them. From what I could find, there is no song with that name credited to you, nor are you credited on any of Laura's songs. In fact, before Laura's version there was a version by Mariska Veres of Shocking Blue fame in 1980 and that one is also credited to Bodine and Tempchin. The ICE Records label you mention appears to be from the UK and according to Discogs, they only published one single... Kevin Kitchen's Silver Dream. Nice try though.

Laura Branigan-Looking Out For Number One Lyrics Looking out for myself seems a fantasy Drifting out to sea into memory Looking out for myself and I'm feeling good Make the moves I should Hop that train, knew I could, ignore the pain And now I want it back, 'Cause I'm saint inside Set free on time for myself not delight Looking out for number one Looking out for number one Looking out for number one When you told me the truth I just closed my eyes But inside I knew it was no surprise Now soon pack my things Left it all behind Had to fill my life with something new Safe myself I needed you And now I want it back, 'Cause I'm saint inside Set free on time for myself not delight Looking out for number one Looking out for number one Looking out for number one And no more keep this all for somebody else Never knew it felt so good to be depending on no one but me Now the worst is behind and I'm here to stay No more practicing It's my turn to play And now I want it back, 'Cause I'm saint inside Set free on time for myself not delight Looking out for number one Looking out for number one Looking out for number one

Not quite... Looking out for myself since our fantasy, drifted out to sea, in to memory. Looking out for myself and I'm feeling good. Made the moves I should, hopped that train! Knew I could ignore the pain. Now I won't look back - cuz I'm safe inside. Set free, untied for myself, afterlife! Looming out for Number one x3 When you told me the truth, I just closed my eyes. But inside I knew, it was no surprise. Darling soon packed my things, left it all behind. Had to fill my life with something new, save myeself from needing you. Now I won't look back cuz I'm safe inside, set free, untied, for myself, afterlife! Looking out for Number One x3
