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

'Til then I'll take my time
Looking for the right one
I need a lover that stays around
I'm gonna take my time
Looking 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 foresee
Will I find him or will he find me?
And if he does will he understand 
That I have a future already planned?
And I'll do anything that I can
Won't take no chances, won't show my hand

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

Ooh, I need a lover
Ooh, to tie me down
Ooh, I need a lover around

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

Take my time
Looking for the right one
I need a lover that stays around
Take my time
Looking for the right one
I need somebody to tie me down
