[Verse 1]
Time was when I, I thought about being with you
So long ago, not like before
Love, like in spring, we had a special thing
Love fresh and new, long bid adieu

[Chorus]
(Something has got to happen that's new) Yeah
(Longing to find a person that's true) Longing to find a person
(Searching for that right person like you)
Searching for that right person
(Hoping that I'm not playing the fool)
Whoa
(Something has got to happen that's new)
Won't you
(Longing to find a person that's true)
I'm searching everywhere
(Searching for that right person like you)
And I'm looking everywhere
(Hoping that I'm not playing the fool)
Longing to find you, baby
Ba-da-bop (Ooh)

[Verse 2]
Waited so long, or could I be in the wrong?
Searching my mind, I'm scared of what I'll find
Asking too much, and I'm afraid to really touch
You and me, it had to be
[Chorus]
(Something has got to happen that's new
Longing to find a person that's true)
I hope to find somebody
(Searching for that right person like you)
I believe I finally found somebody
(Hoping that I'm not playing the fool)
Whoa, just over there, I know you're there
(Something has got to happen that's new)
Whoa, I wanna stand beside you 'cause I love you
(Longing to find a person that's true)
Whoa, I know you're there, I know you're there
(Searching for that right person, like you)
Whoa
(Hoping that I'm not playing the fool)
Oh, 'cause I finally found you

[Verse 3]
The look in your eyes (The look in your eyes)
It's giving me quite a surprise
I'm starting again, love in the end

[Outro]
(Please take my love, boy)
Yeah (Starting again), yeah
(Don't let it fade away)
Yeah (Love in the end), yeah
Yeah (Please take my love, boy)
Whoa, yeah (Starting again), yeah
(Don't let it fade away)
Yeah (Love in the end)
Yeah (Please take my love, boy)
Whoa, yeah (Starting again)
(Don't let it fade away)
Yeah (Love in the end)
Yeah (Please take my love, boy)
Whoa, yeah (Starting again)
Yeah (Don't let it fade away)
Yeah (Love in the end)
Yeah (Please take my love, boy)
Whoa, yeah
