Seventeen, Kara Leigh Baker was settin` my dreams on fire
Back of the class I was sinkin` so fast
Drownin` in my own desire
I wrote poems and songs and letters
Askin` her if she`d been mine
We graduated that May `til this very day
I`m still waitn` on her reply
You can love somebody
You can love somebody that`s a natural fact
You can love somebody
But the hard part`s findin` somebody who`ll love you back
Yeah findin` somebody who will love you back
Well the years have gone by and I realize
Nothin` really much has changed
Still searchin` high and low for that single souls
Carryin` a mutual flame
Well I had a few dear near misses
Sayin` they could hear the music play
But I marched on believin` just to find
I was leadin` another one man parade
But I aint` givin` up
Oh it means too much to me
But it`s gotta be right
In givin` as well as recieve
