Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Don't wait for your love to come from tomorrow
Don't wait for your love to come from yesterday
Your heart better skip a beat to tomorrow
Your heart better jump a beat from yesterday
Don't wait for the love you lost
When someone needs the love that you have
Don't aim for the love you need
Someone, somewhere wants what you've got
[Verse 2]
Maybe she's looking for you in London
(L is for lover)
Maybe she's looking for you in Boston
(O is for an offer)
Maybe she's looking for you in Houston
(V you got adventure)
Maybe she's looking for you in Kingston
(E may be forever)
[Verse 3]
An' de second verse
Don't wait for your mama to lessen your sorrow
Don't wait for the Crown to bring you brighter days
Your heart better skip a beat to tomorrow
Your heart better jump a beat from yesterday
[Verse 4]
Don't wait for the love you lost
When someone needs the love that you have
Don't wait for the love you need
Someone, somewhere wants what you've got
Don't cry for the love you lost
When someone needs the love that you have
Don't sigh for the love you need
Someone, somewhere wants what you've got
[Verse 5]
Maybe she's looking for you in London
(L is for lover)
Maybe she's looking for you in Boston
(O is for an offer)
Maybe she's looking for you in Houston
(V you got adventure)
Maybe she's looking for you in Kingston
(E may be forever)
[Verse 6]
May be forever
May be forever
E may be forever
E may be forever
L is for lover
(L is for lover)
(L is for lover)
(L is for lover)
(L is for lover)
[Verse 7]
Don't wait for your love to come from tomorrow
Don't wait for your love to come from yesterday
Your heart better skip a beat to tomorrow
Your heart better jump a beat from yesterday
Don't wait for the love you lost
Someone needs the love that you have
Don't wait for the love you need
Someone, somewhere wants what you've got
[Verse 8]
Maybe she's looking for you in London
(L is for lover)
Maybe she's looking for you in Boston
(O is for an offer)
Maybe she's looking for you in Houston
(V you got a venture)
Maybe she's looking for you in Kingston
(E may be forever)
[Verse 9]
Do not cry for the love you've lost
Don't pine for the love you need
Do not mourn for the love you lost
Don't mourn for the love you need
Do not cry for the love you've lost
Do not pine for the love you need
Do not mourn for the love you've lost
Don't mourn for the love you need
[Verse 10]
'Cause maybe she's looking for you in Boston
(L is for lover)
Lookin' for you in Glasgow
(O is for an offer)
Maybe she's looking for you in Rio
(V you got adventure)
Maybe she's looking for you in Tokyo
(E may be forever)
Maybe she's looking for you in Sydney
(L is for lover)
Maybe she's looking for you in Philly
(O is for an offer)
Maybe she's looking for you in Lisbon
(V you got adventure)
Maybe she's looking for you in Brooklyn
(E maybe forever)
