Lyrics
1. I’m getting so tired of bein’ lonely
I’m getting tired of bein’ blue
There must be someone wants me only
Who’ll share all my loving so true
Now all that I want is just someone
To make quite a fuss over me
Tho’ some of these days I will find him
Right now I’m as sad as can be, cause
CHORUS
I’m a real kind mama
Lookin’ for a lovin’ man
I ain’t 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
Lookin’ for a lovin’ man
2. I wish I could find a real daddy
I could be “sweet cookie” to
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
I’m a real kind mama
Lookin’ for a lovin’ man
I ain’t got nobody
That does as I command
You’ll never hear your mama cry
If you will only be my D-A-D-D-Y
I’m a real kind mama
Lookin’ for a lovin’ man
