Searchin' and seekin' Never sleepin' I've got to find me a man. I want no disguises Just surprises Someone who I'll understand. I don't need a guy who spends only one night Then tell me he's got no more time. I'm looking for someone to share my life I better move on down the line. Searchin' Looking for love All the time I can. Searchin' Looking for love I've got to find a man. Some guys excite me But don't invite me. They don't even notice it seems I'm always waiting Anticipating. I long for the man of my dreams. He needn't be handsome Have fortune or fame He just gotta be sweet and kind But there's so many wanting Or needing the same I gotta move on down the line. Searchin' Looking for love All the time I can Searchin' Looking for love I gotta find a man Searchin' Looking for love In every place I can Searchin' Looking for love I gotta find a man I don't need a guy who spends only one night Then tell me he's got no more time. I'm looking for someone to share my life I better move on down the line. Searchin' Looking for love All the time I can Searchin' Looking for love I gotta find a man
