How I wish I had a sweetheart
Someone to be sweet to me
I wish I had a girlfriend, or a boyfriend, or both
Never more lonesome to be

How I wish I could locate my soulmate
I have been searching so long
Someone to squeeze me and kiss me goodnight
Someone to sing me a love song

They say if you only stop looking
Love will come knock on your gate
But I say love is fickle
And I'm getting tired of the wait

I used to believe in one true love
Many loves I have known
But they are all gone like last summer's sun
And I am still sleeping alone

They say if you only stop looking
Love will come knock on your gate
But I say love is fickle
And I'm getting tired of the wait

I can't see no use in just pining away
Waiting for love to appear
But oh, sweet goddess of love
Spirits below, spirits above
Please grant my prayer

How I long to be free of attachment
Be at peace on my own
But the roses are blooming and I'm only human
And I want a love to call home

They say if you only stop looking
Love will come knock on your gate
But I say love is fickle
And I'm getting tired of the wait

Yes, I say love is fickle
And I'm getting tired of the wait
