Searching For Love
[Intro]
Searching for love, searching for love
Searching for love
My heart's been searching
Searching for love that's for real
Searching for love, searching for love
Searching for love, I've been searching, searching

[Verse 1]
No more lonely nights
My heart's on fire for your love
Girl, stay here tonight
'Cause you're the kind of girl that I need
(Searching, searching)
You're not just a one night affair
You're that something special to me
I've been hurt so many times before
But with you that can never be
(Searching, searching)
Oh-oh, oh yeah

[Chorus]
My heart's been searching for love
Searching for love that's for real
(Searching for love, searching for love)
I can't stand this feeling no more
(Searching for love)
I gotta have you right here with me
My heart's been searching for love
Searching for love that's for real
(Searching for love, searching for love)
I can't stand this feeling no more
(Searching for love)
I gotta have you right here with me
(I've been searching, searching)
[Verse 2]
Gone are those lonely hours
I'm spending so much time by myself at night
I need your sweet, precious love, girl
To say, and stay to treat me right
(Searching, searching)
So sad and blue, girl I used to be
And then, down from the Heavens an angel came to me
You gave me much more than pure ecstasy
And no girl's ever done that for me, no

[Chorus]
My heart's been searching for love
Searching for love that's so real, mm
(Searching for love, searching for love)
I can't stand this feeling no more
(Searching for love)
I gotta have you right here with me
My heart's been searching for love
Searching for love that's so real, mm
(Searching for love, searching for love)
I can't stand this feeling no more
(Searching for love)
I gotta have you right here with me
(I've been searching, searching)
[Outro]
Woo-hoo...
My heart's been searching
Searching for love that's for real
Hey, I'm searching baby
Searching for love, searching for love
I'm searching for love, I've been searching, searching
