[Verse 1]
I've been tryin' to figure things out
Thought I'd be okay on my own
I've been lying, lying to myself
Nights quiet and cold
[Pre-Chorus]
I've been dreaming all along
And it feels so lonely, lonely
I just need somebody by my side to hold
[Chorus]
Haven't had love in a, love in a while
The next one that's good to me might win my heart
Haven't had love in a, love in a while
The next one that's good to me might win my heart
[Post-Chorus]
Next one that's good to me might win my heart
[Verse 2]
I'm tryin' to hold my thoughts back
With someone who doesn't love me
When the séance with lies to win me
But I still believe
[Pre-Chorus]
I've been dreaming all along
And it feels so lonely, lonely
I just need somebody by my side to hold
[Chorus]
Haven't had love in a, love in a while
The next one that's good to me might win my heart
Haven't had love in a, love in a while
The next one that's good to me might win my heart
[Post-Chorus]
Next one that's good to me might win my heart
[Bridge]
Oh, I just want to feel wanted, yeah
Mmm, but this vacancy keeps haunting me
Oh, mmm
[Chorus]
Haven't had love in a, love in a while
The next one that's good to me might win my heart
Haven't had love in a, love in a while
The next one that's good to me might win my heart
[Post-Chorus]
Next one that's good to me might win my heart
