  • Do you want to be my love, my sight, my heart and my eyes
    My world, my pride, my stars in my skies
    I'm looking for a queen who's more than gorgeous on a movie screen
    I'm looking for the cover girl of dignified beauty magazine

    I want dimples, and simple symbols that she's sweet
    Wrinkles her nose, expose what I mean
    I'm looking for a four-course meal that isn't based in base desire
    I'm looking for a lady that knows the soul is more than an appetizer

    Just one more thing
    Just one more thing

    Do we fit in the pocket,
    Can we fix it back in the pocket
    When the dreams and the drums start rocking
    Can we dance with our knees not knocking knocking oh
    See I, I want a lady I can put stock in
    I want a bass and back beat to lock in
    I want to know real love's not forgotten

    I want a teacher who's eager to speak her mind
    Delicate features, sweet with her tongue so kind
    I'm looking for the markers that say "permanent" so we can share
    I'm looking for a love still alive and well in rocking chairs
    I want faithful, and stable, and able
    Beauty that moves me and improves my soul

    I'm looking for a shining light that likes to fight and persevere
    I'm looking for a lady that wants to make me part of her atmosphere

    Just one more thing
    Just one more thing

    Do we fit in the pocket,
    Can we fix it back in the pocket
    When the dreams and the drums start rocking
    Can we dance with our knees not knocking, knocking
    See I, I want a lady I can put stock in
    I want a bass and back beat to lock in
    I want to know real love's not forgotten

    All I need to know is
    All I need to know is
    All I need to know is

    Are you clear on who you are
    Do you love it?
    When this world starts getting hard
    Rise above it, rise above it

    In the pocket
    Can we fix it back in the pocket
    When the dreams and the drums start rocking, rocking
    Can we dance with our knees not knocking
    See I, I want a lady I can put stock in
    I want a base and backbeat to lock in
    I want to know real love's not forgotten not forgotten

    I said the pocket
    Can we fix it back in the pocket
    When the dreams and the drums start rocking, rocking
    Can we dance with our knees not knocking
    See I, I want a lady I can put stock in
    I want a base and back beat to lock in
    I want to know real love's not forgotten not forgotten
