Lyrics
Love of my own
Yeah
Somewhere in my memory, an image fades from the years
But still I see my love and me, together
Her face washed away by the salt of my tears
But I can feel, so vivid still, the love I felt for her
Someone's lyin' by me, but I'm all alone
Seems you'll have to say goodbye
Somewhere there's a heartbeat, the love of my own
Every day my heart beats with a prayer to find her
Take time to play around
Same games, it's up and down
Can't wait till I finally found
A love of my own
Take time to play the field
Take a chance, spin the wheel
Till I find somethin' real
A love of my own
Flashback through the memory because the picture's so clear
The love high is so divine, there's nothing better
Heaven is so far away, but she'll bring it right here
And I believe that she can see my face in her fantasies
No one here beside me, she had to go
So I'll start my search again
Someday love will find me, when? I don't know
From the day and there on, in her arms is where I'll be, yeah
Take time to play around
Same games, it's up and down
Same games
Can't wait till I finally found
A love of my own
I can't wait, no
Take time to play the field
Take a chance, spin the wheel
Till I find somethin' real
A love of my own
Love of my own
Yeah, yeah
I'ma find a love when
One day
Love of my own
Take time to play around
Play around
Same games, it's up and down
I don't want to play the game
Can't wait till I finally found
A love of my own
Take time to play the field
Don't want to play the field
Take a chance, spin the wheel
Till I find somethin' real
A love of my own
Wanna find her
Take time to play around
Play around
Same games, it's up and down
Can't wait till I finally found
I don't want to play the games no more
A love of my own
Take time to play the field
Take a chance, spin the wheel
Till I find something real
A love of my own
No more searchin'
No more loneliness, no
Love of my, of my, of my
Some way, some day
My own, yeah
I'm searchin', I'm searchin'
For you, babe
