Jody Watley Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Didn't know what to do
But baby, I'm strong, gonna get over you
A new boy I'm gonna choose, you'll see
My love was true, still you threw it all away
Now other guys will have me, they'll appreciate my love
Tell me, how does it feel
You know that I needed you
You know that you meant the world to me
You know I had to have you
Now I'm gonna find somebody new
I'm looking for a new love, baby
A new love, yeah yeah yeah
I'm looking for a new love, baby
A new love, yeah yeah yeah
Was she hot, did she turn you out?
Curiosity rules my brain
Was she worth my heart? It's torn all apart
Are you going back again? Tell me
My love was true, still you threw it all away
But now you're like the rest, unworthy of my best
Hasta la vista, baby
You know that I needed you
You know that you meant the world to me
You know I had to have you
Now I'm gonna find somebody new
I'm looking for a new love, baby
A new love, yeah yeah yeah
I'm looking for a new love, baby
A new love, yeah yeah yeah
I'm looking for a new love, baby
A new love, yeah yeah yeah
I'm looking for a new love, baby
A new love, yeah yeah yeah
Other guys will have me, they'll appreciate my love
Tell me, how does it feel
Now you're like the rest, unworthy of my best
Hasta la vista, baby
I'm looking for a new love baby, a new love
I'm looking for a new love baby, a new love
I'm looking for a new love baby, a new love
