You see, true love
She used to live here before
But I don mess up and threw her out the door
Now I don't feel iray like I used to be before
All the things we used to say
All the way we used to dey
How we used to pray
And they say my melliness dey start to show
And God knows I cannot take it no more
That's why I am asking you
How do I come up with you
(Chorus:)
See, am looking for someone to satisfy me
Looking for someone to love me completely
Looking for someone to show me true love
And am searching for the kind of possibility
For someone to truly love me for me
Someone to come and be my true love
(Verse 2:)
Now loneliness is the order of my days
Since she's gone, I feel like fading away
No, na die I dey
I dey
Oh God, ei
See, na she bin dey make my head bin dey swell
Now that she's gone
I feel like jumping in a well
Oh, I cannot take it no more
That's why I am asking you
How do I come up with you
(Chorus:)
See, am looking for someone to set my soul free
Looking for someone to love me completely
Looking for someone to show me true love
And am searching for the kind of possibility
For someone to truly love me for me
Someone to come and be my true love
True love (x6)
(Verse 3:)
See, na she bin dey make my head bin dey swell
I feel like jumping in a well
Cannot take it no more
Oh God
See, am looking for someone to satisfy me
Looking for someone to complement me
Looking for someone to show me true love
And am searching for the kind of possibility
For someone to truly love me for me
Someone to come and be my true love
Hook loop
True love (true love)
True love (where's my true love)
Ei, see, na she dey make my head bin dey swell
Ei, I feel like fading away
Where's my true love
(Chorus:)
See, am looking for someone to set my soul free
Looking for someone to love me completely
Looking for someone to show me true love
And am searching for the kind of possibility
For someone to truly love me for me
Someone to come and be my true love
(Hook: till fade)
True love (true love)
True love (where's my true love)
