He's just a young boy Looking for a way to find love It isn't easy, nothing you can say will help him, Find love He's got to do it for himself and it can take so long He just a young boy Looking for a way to find love He doesn't need another helping hand from someone But don't you think he doesn't understand what he wants, Someone Though independence means a lot he got to still be strong He just a young boy Looking for a way to find love Find Love, a perfect combination Find Love, whatever you do Find Love, a cause for celebration Then it might come looking, come looking for you Find love in any situation Find Love, whatever you do Find Love, a cause for celebration And it might come looking, come looking for you He's just a young boy Looking for a way to find love It isn't easy nothing you can say will help him, Find love He's got to do it for himself and it can take so long He's just a young boy Looking for a way to find love Find love, a time for meditation Find love, a source for inspiration Find love, instead of confrontation And love will come looking for you
