Not Lookin’ For A Love Like That

I’m Not Lookin’ For A Love Like That

I’ve lived a hard life, I know you have too
But I have one final lesson for you
Listen closely to this song that I wrote
It’s written just for the likes of you

I was looking for a man to believe in
I just didn’t know what you were made of
I’m not in search for a man to control me
I’m not lookin’ for that kind of love

So put your fists back in your pockets
Lower your voice and step on back
Get in your car and go find another
I’m not lookin’ for a love like that

Don’t buy me jewelry after you hit me
Don’t send me flowers after we fight
Don’t search for me when your feeling jealous
I’m not livin’ with your hate and your spite

Don’t try to change my mind with reason
Keep your excuses, I know what you’re full of
Quit trying to hold me against my will, man
I’m not lookin’ for that kind of love

So put your fists back in your pockets
Lower your voice and step on back
Get in your car and go find another
Cause I’m not lookin’ for a love like that

And if by chance, you find you a new one
Love with your heart, not with your hands
For if you don’t, honey, I hope she tells you
She’s not lookin’ for your kind of man

But as for me, got my hands on my own wheel
Listen to my voice man, I am through
Letting you drive my life for me
I’m not settlin’ for a man like you

So put your fists back in your pockets
Lower your voice and step on back
Get in your car and go find another
Cause I’m not lookin’ for a love like that
