I don't go shopping for love
You're somethin' money can't buy
I dream in colors and my dreams
Are all in shades of you, so I'm never blue

I don't go wishing on stars
Just wanna be right where you are
Too many times it felt so right
But it was just the night, now I see the light

I don't care nothin' about goin' out
Now that I've found out what it's all about
Hear me shout, I've saved it all up for you
So if you feel like I do, well, we're long overdue

I'm never out after dark
You'll always find me right here at home
If you're allowed to stay up late
Then please don't hesitate 'cuz I can only wait

I don't care nothin' about goin' out, no, no
Now that I've found out what it's all about
Hear me shout, I've saved it all up for you
So if you feel like I do, well we're long overdue, oh

I don't care nothin', nothin' about goin' out, baby
Now that I've found out what it's all about
Hear me shout, I've saved it all up for you, babe
So if you feel like I do, oh, well we're long overdue, oh

I don't care nothin', nothin' about lovin' around, baby
I've been there and I found out what it's all about
Hear me shout, I saved it all up for you
So if you feel, feel like I do, well we're both long overdue

And I can't, I just can't, I can't go shopping for love
How about you? How about you?
I know exactly what it's all about
And I'm happy, happy our love for two baby
