Yeah, yeah

You'll never find a love
Like the love that you've taken from me, babe
You said my love wasn't good enough
But you'll never find another like me

Baby, I've given you a part of me
I've never given anyone else
You took your love from me and walked away
On the strength of what's said by someone else

You've been listening to your friends
Telling you what to do
Instead of standing up and being a man
When will you realize
That they want what you have
And won't be happy 'til they take it from you
Yeah, yeah

You'll never find a love
(You're never gonna find)
Like the love that you've taken from me, babe
(Oh, no, oh, no)
You said my love wasn't good enough
(It wasn't good enough)
But you'll never find another like me

It's gonna be hard to find a love like mine
Don't miss your water 'til your well runs dry
Baby, you're gonna see you will be missing me
You never thought I would be someone else's wife

You've been listening to your friends
Telling you what to do
Instead of standing up and being a man
Yeah, yeah
When will you realize
Ooh-ooh...
That they want what you have
And won't be happy 'til they take it from you
Oh-oh...

You'll never find a love
(Oh-oh...)
Like the love that you've taken from me, babe
(Oh, no, oh, no)
You said my love wasn't good enough
(Oh-oh...)
But you'll never find another like me
(You're never gonna find a love)

You'll never find a love
Like the love that you've taken from me, babe
You said my love wasn't good enough
(It wasn't good enough)
But you'll never find another like me

You've been listening to your friends
Telling you what to do
And what your brother says goes and you know
When will you realize
Ooh-ooh...
That they want what you have
And won't be happy 'til they take it from you, baby

You'll never find a love
(You're never gonna find)
Like the love that you've taken from me, babe
(Oh-oh...)
You said my love wasn't good enough
(It wasn't good enough)
But you'll never find another like me
(Oh, no, oh, no)

You'll never find a love
(Never)
Like the love that you've taken from me, babe
You said my love wasn't good enough
(Never gonna find)
But you'll never find another like me...

Jody Watley is a Grammy Award-winning singer, songwriter, and producer that first danced her way to fame at 14-years-old as a dancer on Soul Train. That experience led show host Don Cornelius and booking agent Dick Griffey to place her and fellow dancer Jeffrey Daniel in the group Shalamar in 1977, with lead singer Howard Hewett added to the group in 1979. They produced the hits “Second Time Around,” “Make That Move,” “This is for the Lover in You,” and “A Night to Remember” before Watley left the group in 1983 due to conflict within the group and a lack of payment from Dick Griffey’s SOLAR Records label.

She released her self-titled debut album in 1987 featuring the #1 Dance hits “Don’t You Want Me,” “Some Kind of Lover,” and “Looking for a New Love,” which also peaked at #1 on the R&B Singles chart and #2 on the Pop chart. This album went Platinum and led to her winning the Grammy for Best New Artist in 1988. Her follow-up album Larger Than Life was released in 1989 and featured the Top 10 Pop hits “Everything,” “Friends” with Rakim, and the #1 Dance and R&B hit “Real Love.” She worked on these albums with Prince bassist André Cymone, who she would later marry in 1991 before separating in 1995.

She released nine studio albums between 1987 and 2006, and in 2008, she was awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award at the Billboard Music Awards. Her last project was the 2014 EP Paradise on her own Avitone label and she made an appearance on DâM-FunK’s Invite the Light album in 2015 on the track “Virtuous Progression.” She also formed “Shalamar Reloaded” with two new members and continues to tour.
