L Is For Lover

Al Jarreau

Don't wait for your love

to come from tomorrow

Don't wait for your love

to come from yesterday

Your heart better skip a

beat tomorrow

Your heart better jump

a beat from yesterday

Don't wait for the

love you lost

When someone needs

the love that you have

Don't ache for the

love you need

Someone somewhere

wants what you've got



CHORUS:

Maybe she's looking

for you in London

L is for lover

Maybe she's looking

for you in Boston

O is for an offer

Maybe she's looking

for you in Houston

V you got to venture

Maybe she's looking

for you in Kingston

E maybe forever



Don't wait for your mum

to lesson your sorrow

Don't wait for the crown

to bring you brighter days

Your heart better skip

a beat to tomorrow

Your heart better jump

a beat from yesterday

Don't wait for the love you lost

When someone needs

the love that you have

Don't ache for the love you need

Someone somewhere

wants what you've got

Don't cry for the love you lost

When someone needs

the love that you have

Don't sigh for the love you need

Someone somewhere

wants what you've got



CHORUS

1st verse



CHORUS



Do not cry for the love you lost

Do not cry for the love you need

Do not mourn for the love you lost

Don't mourn for the love you need

Do not cry for the love you lost

Do not ache for the love you need

Do not mourn for the love you lost

Don't mourn for the love you need



CHORUS:

Maybe she's looking for you in Moscow

L is for lover

Looking for you in Glasgow

O is for an offer

Maybe she's looking for you in Rio

V you got to venture

Maybe she's looking for you in Tokyo

E maybe forever

Maybe she's looking for you in Sydney

L is for lover

Maybe she's looking for you in Philly

O is for an offer

Maybe she's looking for you in Lisbon

V you got to venture

Maybe she's looking for you in Brooklyn

E maybe forever
