Back in the day I did not know
What to look for in my new beau
So I would just settle for guys I should never
Even have dated but now I know better
Because I've experienced
All types of relationships
Now I know what I need
So I shall just lead
My dream guy into real life with me, yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm lookin' for guy
To play the lead in my life
I'm sure that in due time
That I'll find my Mr. Right
To all of the men who are out there
All the single ladies want to know where
So put your hands up in the air
And say, "I'm right here"
To all of the men who are out there
All the single ladies want to know where
So put your hands up in the air
And say, "I'm right here"
You got a real style, beautiful smile
Wears that cologne that drives women wild
Takes more than just looks to get me shook
If he catches my mind he'll have me hooked
Want a guy with intelligence
A perfect gentleman
To be more than a lover, be more than my man
A guy who could be my best friend
I'm lookin' for guy
To play the lead in my life (In my life)
I'm sure that in due time
That I'll find my Mr. Right
To all of the men who are out there
All the single ladies want to know where
So put your hands up in the air
And say, "I'm right here"
To all of the men who are out there
All the single ladies want to know where
So put your hands up in the air
And say, "I'm right here"
