The easy, fast & fun way to learn how to sing: 30DaySinger.com
I want a Sunday kind of love A love that will last past Saturday night And I've got to know it's more than love at first sight I want a Sunday kind of love I want a love that's on the square Can't seem to find somebody, someone to care And I'm on a lonely road that leads me nowhere I need a Sunday kind of love I do all my Sunday dreaming and all my Sunday scheming Every minute, every hour, every day And I'm hoping to discover a certain kind of lover Who will show me the way And my arms need someone to enfold, to keep me warm When those Mondays and Tuesdays grow cold And I need a love for all my life, to have and to hold I want a Sunday kind of love, oh yeah I don't want a Monday or a Tuesday Wednesday or Thursday, Friday or Saturday I don't want nothing baby But I want a Sunday kind of love
