I've never had a single lesson
And all this time I been guessing
But my life got to find a way to hold on
Gotta keep a love of my own

Because love, oh, love slips through my fingers
Talking about love, sweet love slips through my fingers
Every time
Every time

I got to find a way
Oh, I gotta chase these heartaches away
Cupid, please have mercy on me
And send me love with no more misery

Because love, oh, love slips through my fingers
Talking about love, oh, love slips through my fingers
Every time, ohh
Every time

Now I'm gonna find me someone
Who's gonna love me and nobody else
And when I find that someone
I'm gonna love them more than I do myself

Talking about love, oh, love slips through my fingers
Oh, love, love, how I need a love of my own
I no longer, I no longer want to be alone
I want somebody's arms around me
Oh, someone
