When I was young, people used to say
Someday the right one will come your way
Could be tomorrow, could be today
But when he does, you'll know it right away, till then I'll

Take my time, lookin' for the right one,
I need a lover that stays around
I'm gonna take my time, lookin' for the right one
I need somebody to tie me down

And so I waited patiently, will it be like my fantasy
The only problem I can't foresee, will I find him or will he find me
And if he does, will he understand, that I've the future already planned
And I'll do everything that I can
Won't take no chances, won't show my hand, I'm gonna

Take my time, lookin' for the right one,
I need a lover that stays around
I'm gonna take my time, lookin' for the right one
I need somebody to tie me down

Oooh, I need a lover, oooh, to tie me down, oooh, I need a lover around

I'm gonna

Take my time, lookin' for the right one,
I need a lover that stays around
I'm gonna take my time, lookin' for the right one
I need somebody to tie me down
