In My Songs

Hello, this is Eddie Levert
I want to thank you all for loving and supporting my son throughout 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 and mine that I proudly present
The one you all nicknamed, "The Teddy Bear"
My son, Gerald Levert, and his new album, "In My Songs"

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 (next to me)
I'm tired of being alone and everybody else is lovey-dovey (lovey-dovey)
I'm so tired of all ya'll being happy but me

If I could only find a lover to sing about
Oh, oh
When I sing my songs
Oh, oh
When I sing my songs
Oh-oh, oh yeah

See, I know what I want
Something real, something I could feel
And I know it don't come easy
I wanna be with somebody who can share my ups and downs (ups and downs)
And when they're feeling bad, I can be the one to make a smile (make a smile)
Make her realize that I'm the special guy I sing about

(If I could only find a lover to sing about) if I could only find a lover
I'm searching, I'm searching here and there and everywhere
(If I could only find a lover to sing about) if I could only find a lover to sing about
When I-

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've been dead wrong
But it's time for me to live off the love that I sing about
In my songs! (ooh, ooh)

See, listen, I wanna walk down the aisle to my song (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 when I'm singing my song
I wanna say, "Damn, it's too good, it's too good to be my song"

I wanna break-up to make-up (break-up to make-up), oh, to my song
Oh, I wanna spend quality time, quality time like my song
Twist to years and years to my song (just like my song)
Waiting for the time when we can say
Hmm, this is our song, yeah
Sing it together, sing it together

If I could only find a (if I could only find a) lover (lover to sing about), oh, sing about
(If I could only find a lover to sing about) I've been looking and looking, searching here and there
See this is what I've been doing (if I could only find)
One week it's good, two weeks it's great (a lover to sing about)
Three weeks it's turbulent, four weeks we just crash and burn
(If I could only find a lover to sing about) then it's all over, it's all over
So I gotta find (if I could only find a lover to sing about), find a lover to sing about
(If I could only find a lover to sing about)
