Al Jarreau

L Is for Lover

Don't wait for your love to come from tomorrow
Don't wait for your love to come from yesterday
Your heart better skip a beat tomorrow
Your heart better jump a beat from yesterday

Don't wait for the love you lost
When someone needs the love that you have
Don't ache for the love you need
Someone somewhere wants what you've got

Maybe she's looking for you in London
L is for lover
Maybe she's looking for you in Boston
O is for an offer

Maybe she's looking for you in Houston
V you got to venture
Maybe she's looking for you in Kingston
E maybe forever

And the second verse

Don't wait for your mum to lesson your sorrow
Don't wait for the crown to bring you brighter days
Your heart better skip a beat tomorrow
Your heart better jump a beat from yesterday

Don't wait for the love you lost
When someone needs the love that you have
Don't ache for the love you need
Someone somewhere wants what you've got

Don't cry for the love you lost
When someone needs the love that you have
Don't sigh for the love you need
Someone somewhere wants what you've got

Maybe she's looking for you in London
L is for lover
Maybe she's looking for you in Boston
O is for an offer

Maybe she's looking for you in Houston
V you got to venture
Maybe she's looking for you in Kingston
E maybe forever, maybe forever

E maybe forever
E maybe forever
E maybe forever

L is for lover
L is for lover
L is for lover
L is for lover
L is for lover

Don't wait for your love to come from tomorrow
Don't wait for your love to come from yesterday
Your heart better skip a beat tomorrow
Your heart better jump a beat from yesterday

Don't wait for the love you lost
When someone needs the love that you have
Don't ache for the love you need
Someone somewhere wants what you've got

Maybe she's looking for you in London
L is for lover
Maybe she's looking for you in Boston
O is for an offer

Maybe she's looking for you in Houston
V you got to venture
Maybe she's looking for you in Kingston
E maybe forever

Do not cry for the love you lost
Do not cry for the love you need
Do not mourn for the love you lost
Don't mourn for the love you need

Do not cry for the love you lost
Do not ache for the love you need
Do not mourn for the love you lost
Don't mourn for the love you need, 'cause

Maybe she's looking for you in Moscow
L is for lover
Looking for you in Glasgow
O is for an offer

Maybe she's looking for you in Rio
V you got to venture
Maybe she's looking for you in Tokyo
E maybe forever

Maybe she's looking for you in Sydney
L is for lover
Maybe she's looking for you in Philly
O is for an offer

Maybe she's looking for you in Lisbon
V you got to venture
Maybe she's looking for you in Brooklyn
E maybe forever
