Looking For Love
Jaheim Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You alright, alright
I been, I been
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh no
10 after 8 I'm running late
I jump in my ride headed down the west side
I picked up the phone is my shorty home?
See I saw you and the brother last night
And you were looking rather fine
Your fine ass line you blew my mind
And I was hoping that we'll get together tonight
Girl I really don't want to sound conceded
But I'm the type of guy you need to be with
I've been

[Chorus]
Looking for love in all the wrong places
Been around seen a lot of pretty faces
But I know that I'm the one for you
The only lying I would do is in the bed with you
You've got a brother feeling
And baby you know what I'm meaning
Girl I hope that you are soon to see
That you and I were meant to be baby
Now here we are flossing in my Wixom
Things are getting heated
Time I get a grip
I can play myself want lose my cool
See I refuse to let you down
Like those other fools did
I only want to give ya what you missing
Good loving when you want it
Is what I'm giving baby
Now if it's cool to it's alright with me
Let's take this back to the way love
Suppose to be
Cause I

[Chorus]

Now what you want I got what you need
Been looking for somebody to put down on my team now
Baby girl you got me flipping out
So full of drama want you tell me
What it's all about
I put a time I make you mine
Could of bounced on you girl
But your ass is to fine
Never thought that I'll be loving you
You got me feeling girl
I'm stuck on you





[Chorus]

You
Alright, alright
I been, I been
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh no

10 After 8, I'm runnin' late
I jumped in my ride headed down the west side
I picked up the phone, is my shorty home?
See I saw you in the club last night
And you were lookin' rather fine
If I'd ask why, you blew my mind
Guess I was hopin' that we'd get together tonight
Girl I really don't wanna sound conceited
But I'm the type of guy you need to be with
I've been

Looking for love in all the wrong places
Been around seen a lot of pretty faces
But I know that I'm the one for you
Only lying I would do is in the bed with you
You've got a brother feelin'
And baby you know what I'm meanin'
Girl I hope that you are soon to see
That you and I were meant to be baby

Now here we are flossin' in my Wixom
Things are getting heated
Time I get a grip
I can play myself won't lose my cool
See I refuse to let you down
Like those other fools did
I only wanna give you what you missin'
Good lovin' when you want it
Is what I'm givin' baby
Now if it's cool with you it's alright with me
Let's take this back to the way love suppose to be
Cause I

Looking for love in all the wrong places
Been around seen a lot of pretty faces
But I know that I'm the one for you
Only lying I would do is in the bed with you
You've got a brother feelin'
And baby you know what I'm meanin'
Girl I hope that you are soon to see
That you and I were meant to be baby

Now what you want I got what you need
Been lookin' for somebody to put down on my team
Baby girl you got me flippin' out
So full of drama won't you tell me
What it's all about
I put a time I make you mine
Could've bounced on you girl
But your ass is to fine
Never thought that I'll be lovin' you
You got me feelin' girl

Looking for love in all the wrong places
Been around seen a lot of pretty faces
But I know that I'm the one for you
Only lying I would do is in the bed with you
You've got a brother feelin'
And baby you know what I'm meanin'

That you and I were meant to be baby
Looking for love in all the wrong places
Been around seen a lot of pretty faces
But I know that I'm the one for you
