I've Never Found A Girl
Green Al Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ain't no love, baby
Not my baby's love
It's like burning fire
Oh, shut up in my bones
I got to say it
Ain't no lonely days (lonely days)
And no lonely nights (lonely nights)
And everything she does, you know the girl's alright (you know the girl's alright)

I ain't never, never found me a girl
I wouldn't lie about it, baby
Never, never found me a girl
Squeeze me tighter now (never, never found me a girl)
Nobody to love me like you do
I ain't gonna lie about it, baby

Ain't no man gotta sweet woman like me
She's everything in the world
One man could claim
She's every poor boy's dream
She's every rich man's prayer
I don't need no money, honey
Because you know, she's always there

Never, never found me a girl
(Somebody to keep me walking in my shoes)
Never, never found me a girl
(She always brings me good news)
Never, never found me a girl
To love me like you do
Love me like you do, baby

Never, never found me a girl
Never, never found me a girl
Never, never found me a girl
To love me like you do (oh, sweet baby)
Love me like
You do (I ain't never found a girl)
You do (you squeeze me tight, love me right)




You do (got me walking in my shoes)
You do (make me feel good)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Green Al's song "I've Never Found A Girl" are a tale about how the singer has never found a girl who can love him the way his current partner does. The phrase "Ain't no love, baby / Not my baby's love" is indicative of how the singer's partner's love is different from what he has experienced before. It's described as "like burning fire / Oh, shut up in my bones", which is a metaphor for how passionate and intense their love is. The singer expresses his contentment with the relationship, stating that he has "never had any lonely days or nights" since meeting her.


In the chorus, the singer declares that he has never found someone who loves him the way his current partner does: "I ain't never, never found me a girl / I wouldn't lie about it, baby / Never, never found me a girl / Nobody to love me like you do." He believes that no other woman in the world could love him as she does. He also states that he doesn't need money because she's always there for him, and that she's everything a man could claim.


Overall, the song is about feeling lucky to have found someone who truly and completely loves you. It's about how that love can make your life feel complete and fulfilling. It's also about the idea that sometimes you have to go through a lot of false starts and heartbreaks before finding the person who is truly right for you.

Al Green’s music never lets me down. My favorite artist of all time.

@midlandssoulie

It would be about 1972-3 that someone brought the album to the youth club, I was 11/12 years old at the time, it shaped my taste in music, still sounds so good after all these years

@weldonharper4036

This album is loaded with good songs by Al Green. 😊

@weldonharper4036

This song was playing while I was dating my first girlfriend.

@RockandStoned420

We need more music about true love then what today’s music is about. Bring back the love and brotherhood/sisterhood of all colors and creeds.

@debbiedaniels553

I love the beat to this tune...
