I'm looking for a love
That's gonna be a true love
I'm looking for a love
That's gonna be a deep love

I don't want no part-time favor
I don't want no see you later
I want an everlasting something
To keep me warm at night

I've been through the changes
I've been through the heartaches
I've been through the times
When my heart was about to break

But I'm not gonna give up trying
And I'm not gonna end up crying
I want an everlasting something
To make everything alright

Everlasting something
That's what I'm looking for
Everlasting something
Don't want to cry no more
Everlasting something
To keep me satisfied
Everlasting something
With no more tears to hide

I need a man who's steady
I need a man who's ready
To give me all the lovin'
That I've been dreaming of

I'm tired of the here today
And then they're gone tomorrow
I want an everlasting something
To drown out all my sorrow

Everlasting something
That's what I'm looking for
Everlasting something
Don't want to cry no more
Everlasting something
To keep me satisfied
Everlasting something
With no more tears to hide
