you know what you want from a man
you got a master plan
and a picture in your mind
you think that you can pick and choose
but you only lose
when you leave your heart behind
you never see the one who's right in front of you
you got a fantasy and nothing else will do
put down your telescope and do not be so blind

the boy's in love with you
any fool can see
the way he watches you
when you dance till three
with the kind of boy 
who will never be the one to stay around
when you're looking for love
you better check the lost and found

you say you've been hurt enough
and your life is rough
and you want what you deserve
you think that you're being cool
but you sound so cruel
when you say your heart's reserved
love doesn't care about your calculating plan
what makes you think that you can have that kind of man
cause love don't take requests
you got a lot of nerve

the boy's in love with you
any fool can see
the way he watches you
when you dance till three
with the kind of boy
who will never be the one to stay around
when you're looking for love
you better check the lost and found

you broke a thousand hearts like helen of troy
cause you won't give your love to no local boy

the boy's in love with you
any fool can see
the way he watches you
when you dance till three
with the kind of boy
who will never be the one to stay around
when you're looking for love
you better check the lost and found
cause any fool can see
the way he watches you
when you dance till three
with the kind of boy 
who will never be the one to stay around
when you're looking for love
you better check the lost and found
