I Found Love
Ashantis Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I searched for love before
For a love that I thought I couldn't find
I search 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 into my life and you changed that
'Cause I know what I want and where it's at, yeah

[Chorus]
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
A picture that's so bright you're my delight
And that's why I love you so
I played around with love before
I was silly, and you know that I played the fool
But then you came into my life and you changed that
'Cause I know what I want and where it's at

[Chorus]

Yeah, yeah
Ooh yeah, I found love
Baby, uh huh
Somebody, to treat me right
I found some lovin'
Promise to be true to you baby
Ooh yeah, I found someone
I found it all in you
Loving, loving, loving, baby I love you

I love you
I found some lovin' lovin' lovin'
