[Verse 1]
I was alone thinking I was just fine
I wasn't looking for anyone to be mine
I thought love was just a fabrication
A train that wouldn't stop at my station
Home alone, that was my consignment
Solitary confinement
So when we met I was skirting around you
I didn't know I was looking for love until I found you
[Chorus]
I didn't know I was looking for love until I found you honey
I didn't know I was looking for love until I found you baby, oh no
I didn't know I was looking for love
I didn't know I was looking for love
[Verse 2]
'Cause there you stood, and I would, oh I wonder
Could I say how I felt and not be misunderstood?
A thousand stars came into my system
I never knew how much I had missed them
Slap on the map of my heart you landed
I was coy but you made me candid
And now the planets circle around you
I didn't know I was looking for love until I found you
[Chorus]
I didn't know I was looking for love until I found you baby
I didn't know I was looking for love until I found you baby
I didn't know I was looking for love
I didn't know I was looking for love
[Verse 3]
So we build from here with love the foundation
In a world of tears, one consolation
And now you're here, there's a full brass band
Playing in me like a wonderland
And if you left I would be two foot small
And every tear would be a waterfall
Soundless, boundless, I surround you
I didn't know I was looking for love until I found you
[Bridge]
I just didn't know
[Chorus]
I didn't know I was looking for love until I found you
I didn't know I was looking for love until I found you
(I just didn't know)
I didn't know I was looking for love (I just didn't know)
I didn't know I was looking for love (Until I found you baby)
I didn't know I was looking for love until I found you
(Not 'til I found you)
I didn't know I was looking for love until I found you baby, oh no
I didn't know I was looking for love
I didn't know I was looking for love (Until I found you)
[Outro]
I didn't know I was looking for love until I found you
I didn't know I was looking for love until I found you
I didn't know I was looking for love
I didn't know I was looking for love (Until I found you)
I didn't know I was looking for love until I found you
I didn't know I was looking for love until I found you
I didn't know I was looking for love
I didn't know I was looking for love
I was alone thinking I was just fine
I wasn't looking for anyone to be mine
I thought love was just a fabrication
A train that wouldn't stop at my station
Home alone, that was my consignment
Solitary confinement
So when we met I was skirting around you
I didn't know I was looking for love until I found you
[Chorus]
I didn't know I was looking for love until I found you honey
I didn't know I was looking for love until I found you baby, oh no
I didn't know I was looking for love
I didn't know I was looking for love
[Verse 2]
'Cause there you stood, and I would, oh I wonder
Could I say how I felt and not be misunderstood?
A thousand stars came into my system
I never knew how much I had missed them
Slap on the map of my heart you landed
I was coy but you made me candid
And now the planets circle around you
I didn't know I was looking for love until I found you
[Chorus]
I didn't know I was looking for love until I found you baby
I didn't know I was looking for love until I found you baby
I didn't know I was looking for love
I didn't know I was looking for love
[Verse 3]

I didn't know I was looking for love until I found you
I didn't know I was looking for love
I didn't know I was looking for love (Until I found you)
I didn't know I was looking for love until I found you
I didn't know I was looking for love until I found you
I didn't know I was looking for love
I didn't know I was looking for love
