What I'M Looking For

We've been talking for quite some time
You have your problems and I have mine
But when it comes right down to it
Baby, you need to make up your mind

If you truly see in what I believe
Then you'll love me for me
Now give me a reason to believe
You're not what you seem to be

So, please, tell me why should I
Continue to stand by your side
When all you speak are lies
Baby, look me in the eye
Let me know what's on your mind

I need to know the truth
You leave me so confused
And because of you
I don't know what to do

Between friends and lovers, there is a difference
Possible intentions towards me are of no interest
What I'm looking for is one who's true
She who can keep it real, someone to talk to

Now would be the time to let me know
If it's my own way I should go
And if so, I'm gonna say thanks on my behalf
Because you can never lose what'cha never had
