  • You gave me love, you did me wrong
    Didn't know what to do
    But baby, I'm strong, gonna get over you
    A new boy I'm gonna choose, you'll see

    My love was true, still you threw it all away
    Now other guys will have me, they'll appreciate my love
    Tell me, how does it feel

    You know that I needed you
    You know that you meant the world to me
    You know I had to have you
    Now I'm gonna find somebody new

    I'm looking for a new love, baby
    A new love, yeah yeah yeah
    I'm looking for a new love, baby
    A new love, yeah yeah yeah

    Was she hot, did she turn you out?
    Curiosity rules my brain
    Was she worth my heart? It's torn all apart
    Are you going back again? Tell me

    My love was true, still you threw it all away
    But now you're like the rest, unworthy of my best
    Hasta la vista, baby

    You know that I needed you
    You know that you meant the world to me
    You know I had to have you
    Now I'm gonna find somebody new

    I'm looking for a new love, baby
    A new love, yeah yeah yeah
    I'm looking for a new love, baby
    A new love, yeah yeah yeah

    I'm looking for a new love, baby
    A new love, yeah yeah yeah
    I'm looking for a new love, baby
    A new love, yeah yeah yeah

    Other guys will have me, they'll appreciate my love
    Tell me, how does it feel
    Now you're like the rest, unworthy of my best
    Hasta la vista, baby

    I'm looking for a new love baby, a new love
    I'm looking for a new love baby, a new love
    I'm looking for a new love baby, a new love Writer/s: ANDRE CYMONE, JODY V. WATLEY
