Lyrics:
First verse
I'm getting so tired of bein' lonely, I'm getting tired of bein' blue; There must be some one wants me only Who'll share all my loving so true. Now all that I want is just some one To make quite a guss over me; Tho' some of these days I will find him, Right now I'm as sad as can be
Chorus
I'm a real kind mama, (mama) Lookin' for a lovin' man; I aint got nobody Who'll come and claim my hand Now all I want is all your love And morning, noon and night that's all I'm thinking of; I'm a real kind mama (mama) Lookin' for a lovin' man I'm a real kind mama, (mama) Lookin' for a lovin' man; I aint got nobody That does as I command You'll never hear your mama cry If you will only be my daddy; I'm a real kind mama, (mama) Lookin' for a lovin' man.
Second verse
I wish I could find a real daddy, I could be sweet cookie too; Each night I would bring him his slippers Just like all the real mamas do. I never would cross him or scold him I'd always be loving and true, All day I've been wondering, dearie, Why can't that sweet daddy be you? Cause
(Chorus)
