I don't mind making you happy
I don't mind making your day
Feels so good to give
But I never, never seem to get my way
I'm tired of waking up with nobody laying next to me (next to me)
I'm tired of being alone and everybody else is lovey dovey (lovey dovey)
I'm so tired of all y'all being happy but me
If I could only find a lover to sing about (oh oh)
When I sing my songs
When I sing my songs
Oh, oh, yeah
See, I know what I want
Something real, something I can feel
And I know it don't come easy
I wanna be with somebody who can share my ups and downs (ups and downs)
And when they're feeling bad, I can be the one to make a smile (make a smile)
Make her realize that I'm the special guy I sing about
(If I could only find her) If I could only find her, a love
I'm searching, I'm searching here and there and everywhere
(If I could only find her) find, if I could find a love to sing about when I
See, every night on my knees
I pray send her to me (please, send her to me, send her to me)
See, I ain't been perfect
In fact, I been dead wrong
But it's time for me to live off the love that I sing about
In my songs
See, listen, I wanna walk down the aisle to my song
I want the first dance to be my song
And I wanna, and I wanna, wanna make love to my song, to my song, yeah
Wanna have babies to my song
I wanna cry, cry, cry, cry when I'm singing my song
I wanna say, 'damn it's too good, it's too good to be my song.'
I wanna break-up to make-up (break-up to make-up) to my song (oh)
I wanna spend quality time, quality time like my song
Years to years to my song (just like my song)
Waiting for the time when we can say, hmm, this is a song, yeah
Sing it together, sing it together
If I could only find a (if I could only find a) lover (lover to sing about) sing about
(If I could only find a) I been looking and looking, (lover)
Searching here and there, see, this is what I been doing
One week it's good, two weeks is great, three weeks is turbulence
Fourth weeks we just crash and burn, then it's all over
So I gotta find, find a lover to sing about (sing)

In My Songs [Circuit City Exclusive]
The Best of Gerald Levert

Gerald LeVert finished working on In My Songs prior to passing away in November 2006. He was only 40, and the cause of his death -- a lethal combination of prescription and over-the-counter drugs taken for his number of ailments -- is a real shame, made all the more sad because it was an accident. Needless to say, he had a lot left to give, and if there's any indicator of that, it's this album, which sits with his first three solo albums and 2004's Do I Speak for the World as one of his best. Produced entirely by LeVert and longtime associate Edwin Nicholas, the album delivers almost exactly what any fan expects. There's something for every mood, and it's a plus that there are no guest appearances to get in the way. If there is a surprise, it's that the midtempo club cuts ('DJ Don't,' 'Wanna Get Up with You') and stately testimonies ('What Cha Think About That,' 'M'Lady') either match or beat the mostly just-fine ballads. It's too bad LeVert never made an outright classic album, but several strong albums and piles of hit singles, not to mention all the work with LeVert and LSG, amounts to a great legacy.
