I Found Lovin'
Fatback Band Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I search for love before
For a love that I thought I couldn't find
I searched day in and day out
For a love that was mine all mine

I played around with love before
I was silly and you know that I played the fool
But then you came and took my life and you changed it
'Cause I know what I want and where it's at, yeah

I found lovin'
Since I found you
I'm in love with you
I found lovin'
Since I found you
I'm in love with you
I found lovin'

My sun rises on your face
When I see that certain glow
But picture that's so bright
You're my delight
And that's why I love you so

I've played around with love before
I was silly and you know that I played the fool
But then you came and took my life and you changed it
'Cause I know what I want and where it's at, with you

I found lovin' (somebody to treat me right?)
Since I found you
I'm in love with you babe
I found lovin'
Since I found you
I'm in love with with you
I found lovin'

Yeah, ooh, yeah, I found love, baby, uh, huh, somebody to
Treat me right? oh, yeah
I found someone that's promise to be true to you, baby
Oh, yeah, I found somebody, I found it all in you
Oh, yeah, lovin', lovin', lovin', lovin', I found some
Love, baby, I love you, I love you, oh
Yeah, I found some lovin', lovin', lovin', yeah, oh, yeah
Mmm, I found some lovin', lovin'
Mmm yeah, oh, yeah, I found some lovin', lovin', lovin'
Oh, yeah, I found some lovin' I found
It all in you

Overall Meaning

The Fatback Band's "I Found Lovin'" is a classic upbeat love song that celebrates finding true love after a long search. The lyrics convey the idea that the singer has searched high and low for love and has played around with it before, but none of it was satisfying until they found the right person. The opening lines reveal the search for love and how it was unfulfilled until the singer met their soulmate. The chorus repeats the line "I found lovin'" as a declaration of their newfound love and commitment.


The second verse repeats the same sentiments as the first but also emphasizes the transformation that has occurred in the singer's life since meeting their partner. The sun rising on their partner's face is a metaphor for the light that has been brought into their life since finding true love. The bridge of the song is a repetition of the chorus with ad-libs and vocalizations that reinforce the joy and excitement of having found true love.


Overall, "I Found Lovin'" is a straightforward love song that features a catchy beat, a groovy bassline, and an uplifting message about the joys of finding true love. It is a quintessential disco-era tune that still resonates with audiences today.

In the 80s, my parents said the 50s & 60s where the best music decades. Well I'm now in my 50s & the 80s was the ultimate decade for music. It brought music from past decades & introduced many more but there will never be anything like funky soul music EVER!! Love this groove
