Seventeen, Kara Leigh Baker was settin' my dreams on fire

Back of the class I was sinkin' so fast

Drownin' in my own desire

I wrote poems and songs and letters

Askin' her if she'd been mine

We graduated that May 'til this very day

I'm still waitn' on her reply



You can love somebody

You can love somebody that's a natural fact

You can love somebody

But the hard part's findin' somebody who'll love you back

Yeah findin' somebody who will love you back



Well the years have gone by and I realize

Nothin' really much has changed

Still searchin' high and low for that single souls

Carryin' a mutual flame

Well I had a few dear near misses

Sayin' they could hear the music play

But I marched on believin' just to find

I was leadin' another one man parade



But I aint' givin' up

Oh it means too much to me

But it's gotta be right

In givin' as well as recieve
