Till The Right Man Comes Along
Tina Turner · Break Every Rule [1986]
It's time to face the music
Tonight I came to use it
You never know
Who you're gonna meet in here
I thought I'd never find it
The dark and handsome kind
I used to dream of
And now you're standing there
Though you're looking good to me
It doesn't mean that you can do as you please
No no no no
Chorus
Oh baby you're the best thing in my life
But a one track mind is what you got
Oh baby you're the best bet here tonight
And a one track mind is worth a lot
I've got no good reason to believe we'll last for long
But that's good enough for me till the right man comes along
I've waited for a lover
The kind who'll stay forever
You look to me
Like the sort of man I need
It's not the best scenario
But now I've found you I'm letting you go
Chorus
Oh baby you're the best thing in my life
But a one track mind is what you got
Oh baby you're the best bet here tonight
And a one track mind is worth a lot
For the perfect guy maybe I should be holding on
And with you I could till the right man
Till the right man comes along
Tonight I came to use it
You never know
Who you're gonna meet in here
I thought I'd never find it
The dark and handsome kind
I used to dream of
And now you're standing there
Though you're looking good to me
It doesn't mean that you can do as you please
No no no no
Chorus
Oh baby you're the best thing in my life
But a one track mind is what you got
Oh baby you're the best bet here tonight
And a one track mind is worth a lot
I've got no good reason to believe we'll last for long
But that's good enough for me till the right man comes along
I've waited for a lover
The kind who'll stay forever
You look to me
Like the sort of man I need
It's not the best scenario
But now I've found you I'm letting you go
Chorus
Oh baby you're the best thing in my life
But a one track mind is what you got
Oh baby you're the best bet here tonight
And a one track mind is worth a lot
For the perfect guy maybe I should be holding on
And with you I could till the right man
Till the right man comes along
