A Love of Your Own Lyrics by Howard Hewett

It’s Time

1994

[Intro: Howard Hewett, Monty Seward]
You know, Mont', man, I've been thinking
I kinda wanna do a old, slow, funky, old school type of groove, you know what I'm saying?
- Yeah, yeah, you know, maybe some old Average White Band
Oh, man
- Average White Band was funky
They were funky
- They were really funky
Check it out, something like this maybe, see
(One, two, three)
Oh, oh-oh
Say ooh, hoo, hoo, hoo
My, my, my, my baby
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh yeah, woo
[Chorus: Howard Hewett, Background Singers]
The sooner you give (The sooner you give)
The sooner you get to have (The sooner you get to have
A love of your own)
And as long as it takes, baby
(The longer it takes, the better you'll come to know
A love of your own) Oh, oh
[Bridge: Howard Hewett, Background Singers]
(Don't you be afraid) To give your heart
(You never know 'til you try it, ooh)
Don't deny it to yourself
(Don't you be afraid) To walk right on in, girl
The door is always open
You know I'm always hoping
[Chorus: Howard Hewett, Background Singers]
(The sooner you give) The sooner you get to have
(A love of your own)
Oh, and as far as you go, baby
(As far as you go) Oh girl, you're never too far behind
A love of your own No, no, no, no, no, baby
[Bridge: Howard Hewett, Background Singers]
(Don't you be afraid) To shoot the moon, oh
(You'll never know 'til you try it)
Oh girl, don't deny it to yourself
(Don't you be afraid) To change your tune
The door is always open
You know I'm always hoping
You know I'm always hoping, hey, hey
[Outro: Howard Hewett, Background Singers, Monty Seward]
A love of my own to shelter me from the cold
(A love of my own) Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
(A love of my own) Oh, you're never too far behind
(A love of my own) Oh, my baby, I'm searching for a love
(I'm searching 'til I find (A love of my mind)
Someone to give me peace of mind) To shelter me from the cold
(A love of my own) Oh, oh, a love sincere
(A love that's so sincere (A love of my own)
Trying to find someone to share) I'll share with you my whole world
(A love of my own) Come on, baby, my, my-my-my-my baby, yeah
(I wanna make it clear (A love of my own)
All the love you need is right here) It's right here, my darling
(A love of my own) Oh, come on, give it to me, girl
(I'm searching 'til I find (A love of my own)
Someone to give me peace of mind) Give me my peace of mind, girl, yeah, yeah
(A love of my own) Oh, everybody, everybody looking for a love of their own
(A love that's so sincere (A love of my own)
Trying to find someone to share) A love of my own
(A love of my own) Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, see, that's what I'm talking about, man
- Okay, alright, that was funky now, that was funky
That was real funky
- Alright
Alright
