Lyrics

[Verse 1]
(Hello, this is Eddie Levert)
(I want to thank you all)
(For loving and supporting my son through out his career)
(He had just finished this album when we went to South Africa)
(And he was extremely proud and anxious for everyone to hear his newest collection)
(It is with his wish in mind that I proudly present)
(The one you all nicknamed the Teddy Bear)
(My son, Gerald Levert and his new album In My Songs)
[Verse 2]
I don't mind making you happy
I don't mind making your day
It feels so good to give
But I never, never seem to get my way
I'm tired of waking up with nobody laying next to me
I'm tired of being alone and everybody else is lovey-dovey
I'm so tired of all of y'all being happy but me
If I could only find a lover to sing about, oh
[Verse 3]
When I sing my songs
When I sing my songs
Oh, oh yeah
[Verse 4]
See, I know what I want
Something real, something I can feel
And I know it don't come easy
I wanna be with somebody who can share my ups and downs
And when they're feeling bad, I can be the one to make a smile
Make her realize that I'm the special guy I sing about
[Verse 5]
If I could only find a lover to sing about
If I could only find a lover to sing about
See, every night on my knees
I pray send her to me
Please send her to me, send her to me
See, I ain't been perfect, in fact, I been dead wrong
But it's time for me to live off the love that I sing about in my songs
[Verse 6]
See listen, I wanna walk down the aisle to my song
Ooh, ooh
I want the first dance to be my song
Ooh
And I wanna and I wanna, wanna make love to my song, to my song, yeah
Wanna have babies to my song, ooh
I wanna cry, cry, cry, cry, cry when I'm singing my song
I wanna say damn, it's so good, it's too good to be  my song
I wanna break up to make up to my song
I wanna spend quality time, quality time like my song
Toast to years and years to my song
Just like my song
Waiting for the time when we can say
Mmm, this is a song, yeah
Let's sing it together, sing it together
[Verse 7]
If I could only find a lover to sing about, oh
If I could only find a lover to sing about, oh
If I could only find a lover to sing about, oh
If I could only find a lover to sing about, oh
If I could only find a lover to sing about, oh
[Verse 8]
If I could only find a lover, oh, oh, sing about
I been looking and looking, searching here and there
See this is what i been doing, one week is good, two weeks is great
Three weeks is turbulence
Fourth week is crash and burn, then it's all over
So I gotta find, find a lover to sing about...
