Album: ALTERNATIVE MAN | Song lyrics to: THE THING YOU'RE LOOKING FOR
Verse 1
Let's break it down, girl.
What you're wanting is the
Kind of love that is never gonna let you down.
But you've been hurt now
So many times by the
Very person you thought was gonna be the one.
Wasting your life on second-hand fantasies.
Don't you know you're worth more than that?
Chorus 1
I can see what you're needing,
I feel your heart bleeding,
And I know where it's leading.
I've been there before.
There's Someone beside you,
His love can't deny you,
'Cause He longs to supply you
With the thing you're looking for.
Verse 2
You're wanting something picture perfect,
Living paradise with someone who never makes mistakes,
And you've interviewed eligible candidates
For such a long time.
But you've turned down all the applicants,
That's 'cause you're looking in the wrong direction.
Need a connection with the Source of love.
Repeat Chorus 1
Ohh Ohhh
Bridge:
Since I found the Love that's from beyond the sky,
Feel like I'm floating on a permanent high.
He could be the answer to the tears you cry.
Why don't you give Him a try.
FX vocals:
I can feel that your heart is bleeding
And I know what your life is needing
And I see where the road is leading
And I got what you're looking for
And there's Someone who's there beside you
And his love never can deny you
And I know that He will supply you
With the thing that you're looking for.
Chorus 3:

I can see what you're needing,
And I feel your heart bleeding,

'Cause He longs to supply you
With the thing you're looking for.
