Gotta Find Me A Lover - Erma Franklin

I’m tired of being the one who’s always denied,

Tired of being the one who has to fight.

I go through life with my head hangin' down,

Cause I don’t have a man around.

I’m a woman and that’s no lie.

You know I’m gonna be satisfied.

Gotta have somebody, somewhere,

I got to find me a lover, yeah.

24 hours a day.

I got to find me a lover, ooh.

Who’s mine in every way.

Every man I get my hands on,

Is carrying another’s love.

Well I try to be, a real nice lady,

Cause I don’t wanna take 'em apart.

All I can see, how they’re close together,

Lovin' each other forever.

Now I’m tired of being nice,

Gonna stop hurtin' me.

I’m a woman and that’s no lie.

You know I’ve gotta be satisfied.

There’s somebody somewhere,

I got to find me a lover, yeah.

24 hours a day.

I’ve got to find me a lover, ooh.

Who’s mine in every way, yeah.

Got to find me a lover.

You know I need me a love.

Ooh ooh sweet lover.

My my sweet lover.
