Oh, I never, you know I loved you till you left me

Oh, I never, you know I cared till you were gone

I was young and foolish, I didn't know what I was doin'

I didn't know I lost you till you're gone

Oh, I never, knew I loved you till you were gone

So I gotta get up early in the morning

To find me another lover

So I gotta get up early in the morning

To find me another lover

So I gotta get up early in the morning

To find me another lover

Gotta get up early in the morning

To find me another lover

Now I gotta get up early every morning

'Cause the early bird always catches the worm

Now I gotta get up every morning

Gotta make up for the lesson I've learned

Gotta find me a lover that won't run for cover

Gotta find me a lover that won't run the mother

'Cause I gotta get up early in the morning

To find me another lover

So I gotta get up early in the morning

To find me another lover

So I gotta get up early in the morning

To find me another lover

So I gotta get up early in the morning

To find me another lover

I was young and foolish, I didn't know what I was doin'

I didn't know I lost you till you're gone

She had a pretty face that drove me wild

I even wanted her to have my child

Early in the morning

To find me another lover

So I gotta get up early in the morning

To find me another lover

So I gotta get up early in the morning

To find me another lover

So I gotta get up early in the morning

To find me another lover

(Team say it)

Gotta find me another lover

Gotta find me another lover

Gotta find me another lover

Gotta find me another lover

(Ladies just sing it one time, sing ladies)

Gotta find me another lover

Gotta find me another lover

Gotta find me another lover

Gotta find me another lover
