Looking for a Lover

lyrics

Becca’s been busy dreaming away
She plans her perfect wedding day
She’s got the flowers and the room
She just needs the groom
She goes out drinking with her friends
They want to set her up with their friend Ben
And oh hey he’s free on Friday night
She says all right if only she won’t be lonely

She’s looking for a lover, looking for a lover
It doesn’t really matter who
Looking for a lover, looking for a lover
Anyone will do
Just as long as she has someone to come home to

Next week Ben waits by the bar
She spots his flowers from afar
He could stand to lose a pound or two
But his face is cute
Becca buttons her blouse button and then
She unbuttons it again
She talks and talks without a pause
It’s not on purpose, she just gets nervous

She’s looking for a lover, looking for a lover
It doesn’t really matter who
Looking for a lover, looking for a lover
Anyone will do
Just as long as she has someone to come home to

One thing leads to another and then
She copies keys, he’s moving in
They read The Times on the weekend
And it may not be love, but it’s close enough

She’s looking for a lover, looking for a lover
It doesn’t really matter who
Looking for a lover, looking for a lover
Anyone will do
Just as long as she has someone to come home to
And now they both have someone to come home to
