G                     C
I've been around the world, it's true
G                        C
Searchin' for someone, exactly like you
G          B       Em           C
I finally found a love that's true
G   D   G
Oh, oh, oh

You heard my story, you heard just what I said
The one that I love she might as well be dead
Finally found a love that's true,
Oh, oh, oh

You heard my story…you know how I feel
You got me spinnin'.like a spinnin' wheel
And finally found a love that true
Oh, oh, oh

I've been around the world, it's true
Searchin' for someone exactly like you
And finally found a love that's true
Oh, oh, oh

And finally found a love that's true
Oh, oh, oh
