[Verse 1]
If love is a river, baby, I'm in a drought
I'm looking for the kinda thing that people sing about
Everybody tellin' me you'll know it when you find it
I'm looking for love or something kinda like it

[Verse 2]
I wanna hold your hand when you're walking down the street
I wanna be the one who can make your heart beat
I'd rather have forever, babe, but I could overnight it
I'm looking for love or something kinda like it

[Chorus]
Maybe it's the real thing
Maybe it's just a little love illusion
What's the difference, baby?
I could use a little confusion

[Verse 3]
I wanna be the medicine you can't stop taking
I wanna be the one who can leave your body shaking
Whatever you got, you know I'll take it, I'll buy it
I'm looking for love or something kinda like it

[Bridge]
The one, you could be the one
Or we could just have a little fun
Whatever it is, whatever it ain't
The pond just needs a little rain
[Verse 4]
How come everybody makes it look so easy?
If they can do it, I can do it, baby, come and see me
If it's only for a little while, I won't mind it
I'm looking for love or something kinda like it

[Chorus]
Maybe it's the real thing
Maybe it's just a little love illusion
What's the difference baby?
I could use a little confusion

[Verse 5]
Well I'd rather have the real, but I'll take an imitation
Just gimme what you got and I will use imagination
Beggars can't be choosers and so, baby, I've decided
I'm looking for love or something kinda like it
Mmm, something kinda like it
I'm looking for love or something kinda like it
Mmm, kinda like it
