Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I found a love, I found a love
I found a love that I need, ohh, yeah
I found a kiss, I just want to tell you that I can't resist
I found a love that I need, ohh, yeah
And I wanna call her now

Wait a minute, there's one thing I wanna say right here
The way the woman walk, she set my little soul on fire
The way she talk, she my heart desire
And, oh, if you leave me, I figured I would die




If sometime I would call her in the midnight hour
Don't leave me baby

I can't believe I found the first record that touched my little 16 year old heart in 1962! This song brought tears to my eyes...there was so much feeling. I must say that I was genuinely surprised when I keyed the title on YouTube and it was really there..this version as well as with Wilson Pickett. Yes it still moves me to tears at 70 years of age. So very soulful and heartfelt. Thank you to YouTube for supplying me all the music of my youth and the memories that accompany them. To borrow a term from this generation ...these guys can Saaaaaang!
