Sunday Kind Of Love
Steve Tyrell Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I want a sunday kind of love
A love to last past saturday night
I'd like to know it's more than love at first sight
I want a sunday kind of love
I want a love that's on the square
Can't seem to find somebody
Someone who care
I'm on a lonely road that leads to nowhere
I need a sunday kind of love
I do my sunday dreaming
And all my sunday sheming
Every minute, every hour, every day
I'm hoping to discover
A certain kind of lover
Who will show me the way
My arms need someone
Someone to enfold
To keep me varm when mondays
Grow cold
A Love for all my life
To have and to hold
I want a
Sunday kind love
My arms need someone to enfold
When mondays and tuesdays
Grow cold
Love for all my life to have and to hold
I want a sunday kind of love
I don't want a monday
Tuesday or wednesday
Or thursday, friday
Or saturday
No I just want a sunday




I want a sunday kind of love
Sunday kind of love
