Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Mmm, tell me
Tell, tell, tell, tell me
Mmm, tell me
Tell, tell, tell, tell me
[Verse 2]
Who needs the aggravation?
I think I'm running out of patience
I can't take any more heartbreaks
Why be a Cinderella
When you can't find a fella?
It's a nightmare, it's not fair
I need the kind of lovin'
Hotter than my mama's oven
I'm on fire with a love desire
[Verse 3]
Tell me, when am I gonna find true love?
(When am I gonna find true love?)
When am I gonna find true love?
When am I gonna find (When am I gonna find)
When am I gonna find (When am I gonna find)
When am I gonna find true love?
I ask myself the question
[Verse 4]
Ooh, tell me
Somebody tell me
[Verse 5]
I'm in a situation
Even in the going inflation
No good men, can't spread myself that thin
I need a magic potion
To put my love back in motion
My confusion is no illusion
I need the right connection
I'm moving in the wrong direction
To enhance a lasting romance
[Verse 6]
Tell me, when am I gonna find true love?
(When am I gonna find true love?)
When am I gonna find true love?
When am I gonna find (When am I gonna find)
When am I gonna find (When am I gonna find)
When am I gonna find true love?
I ask myself the question
[Verse 7]
Tell me, when am I gonna find (When am I gonna find?)
When am I gonna find (When am I gonna find)
When am I gonna find true love?
I ask myself the question
[Verse 8]
Tell me, when am I gonna find (When am I gonna find?)
When am I gonna find (When am I gonna find)
When am I gonna find true love?
[Verse 9]
When am I gonna find (When am I gonna find)
When am I gonna find (When am I gonna find)
When am I gonna find true love, love, love?
[Verse 10]
Ooh, tell me
(When am I gonna find true love?)
Somebody tell me
True love (When am I gonna find true love?)
True love, oh
[Verse 11]
Somebody tell me (When am I gonna find true love?)
Somebody tell me (Tell me, tell me)
Tell, tell (When am I gonna find true love?)
Tell, tell, tell, tell me (Tell me, tell me)
Tell me (When am I gonna find true love?)
Tell, tell, tell, tell me, tell me (Tell me)
Oh, I need to know, tell me, tell me
(When am I gonna find true love?)
Won't somebody tell me, tell me
[Verse 12]
Whoa, I want to know, tell me
(When am I gonna find true love?)
Somebody tell me, tell me (Tell me) oh
Tell me, tell me (When am I gonna find true love?)
Whoa, true love (Tell me)
I need true love (When am I gonna find true love?)
Tell me, tell me (Tell me, tell me)
Whoa, won't somebody tell me, tell me
(When am I gonna find true love?)
Oh, tell me, tell me
