Gotta get these thoughts off my mind,
gotta get them off my mind,
I need them off my mind, mi---nd


See they've just got me wondering why,
wondering why, why, why, why?


Father, all I'm asking for is four minutes of your time,
to sing a few words that's been plaguing my mind,

see I don't have a problem with the way my life's been going,
but I have thoughts and it's you I should be telling,
you've given me five children by two different women,

and I'll always love 'em both but I'm still searching,
'coz I haven't yet found my wife sent to me from heaven,
and this is what I'm wondering, yeah


Is there a woman out there,
to truly love me and show me care?

I've tried two times but I'm still yet not a man in love,
what good is the world to me,
if it ain't got a wife for me?

when all I really wanna be is just a man in love

Listen,

I don't live for myself but they don't understand,
'coz you've gave me this gift to sing throughout the land,
I know they're only women and I should show compassion,

but they never stick around and wait for that to happen,
all they see is that I'm all around the world,
thinking every country I'd have a different girl,

sometimes I say to myself why is she doing this to me,
why's she tryna bring me misery?


So is there a woman out there,
to truly love me and show me care?
I've tried two times but I'm still yet not a man in love,

what good is the world to me,
if it ain't got a wife for me?
when all I really wanna be is just a man in love


Uh,
I wonder why all my tries can never add up,

to say bye bye all those times,
yo I had enough,
to see my pride go down the drain,

and have to get up,
Lord made me a man and I'm worthy of love so,
being ungrateful is the last thing I could ever think of doing,

acheiving my dreams and giving my children a future is all your doing,
but true love I'm searching for to be complete,
Father send me someone 'coz I'ma patiently wait


So is there a woman out there,
to truly love me and show me care?

I've tried two times but I'm still yet not a man in love
what good is the world to me.
if it ain't got a wife for me?

when all I really wanna be is just a man in love?

Tell me Father,

is there a woman out there,
to truly love me and show me care?
I've tried two times but I'm still yet not a man in love,

what good is the world to me,
if it ain't got a wife for me?
when all I really wanna be is just a man in love!
