Find My Boy
Alessia Cara Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Find my
Find my, find my boy (find my boy)
Find my, find my boy (find my boy)
Find my, find my boy

Are you tall with the spot in Florence?
Are you short and sweet with the love for poems?
Are you by the beach doing yoga poses?

Man of my dreams
Are you out in Brooklyn grabbin' a pizza?
Skating down the block, down in Ipanema
Hittin' up Milan's finest galleria
Man of my dreams

I've had a couple loves didn't go my way
I'm running out of luck and time to waste
I don't understand, I can't seem to find my boy
I've had a couple loves didn't go my way
You better hurry up if you're the one for me
I don't understand, I can't seem to find my boy

Find my
Find my, find my boy (find my boy)
Find my, find my boy (find my boy)
Find my, find my boy

Are you with you friends on the rooftop laughing?
Smoking in LA, tryna kick the habit
Bought a grand piano that you'll never practice
Man of my dreams (na-na-na)
Are you on a bad date, thinkin' of running?
Fancyin' lady at the bar in London
Singin' to yourself just because you love it
Man of my dreams (dum, da-da-da-da)

I've had a couple loves didn't go my way
I'm running out of luck and time to waste
I don't understand, I can't seem to find my boy (oh, no, no)
I've had a couple loves didn't go my way
You better hurry up if you're the one for me
I don't understand, I can't seem to find my boy (oh, no, no)

Find my
Find my, find my boy (find my boy)
Find my, find my boy (find my boy)
Find my, find my boy (find my boy)
Find my
Find my, find my boy (find my boy)
Find my, find my boy (can't seem to find my boy)
Find my, find my boy

Catch me in Toronto with a cappuccino
I'm always on the run in my same old sneakers
I'm talkin' you, so turn up your speakers
Man of my dreams, I can't wait to meet ya

I've had a couple loves didn't go my way
I'm running out of luck and time to waste
I don't understand, I can't seem to find my boy (oh, no, no)
I've had a couple loves didn't go my way
You better hurry up if you're the one for me
I don't understand, I can't seem to find my boy (can't seem to find my boy)

Find my
Find my, find my boy (find my boy)

Find my, find my boy (find my boy)
Find my, find my boy

@cece354

The difference between Alesia Cara and other female singers is that Alesia’s music grows with her. The lyrics mature as she ages. What a pleasure to have an artist like Alessia in this generation. Madonna is in her lates 60s and her music is stuck in her 20s!
