       LEAD-IN:  ( G D7 ) ( Em G )  C   D  

        G
   Your datin' just means raisin' hell,
        Em
      a chance to have some fun.
        C
an' you never even ask yourself
        D
     if this might be the one.
        C
  These girls who inspire you 
        D7
    are beautiful all right,
        C
but aim just a little higher, you'd 
      ( Em7               D7 )
   have true love in your sights,
        G
    the love of one who even can
        Em
        take your breath away
        Am
   long after steamy evenings have
        D              D7
       evaporated into day.


CHORUS
        G                              Em
   It's time you found the lovin' that feels like comin' home.
        C                                     D
   It's time your heart stopped livin' on its own.
        C          
     Go out an' find the woman who
      ( B                  Em )
        ain't just puttin' up with you
      ( C                     Am )
 who'll scold you when you're flirtin'
      ( C                  D )
but who holds you when you hurt,
        Am                          ( D )               G
 who'll love you with the lovin' that feels like comin' home.


           Countin' all your conquests,
           always keepin' score,
    seemed clever in your twenties,
    but it doesn't any more.
     Don't think these games you're playin'
     never lead to any harm,
    'cause you're really just delayin'
your sweet future in the arms
    of the woman who can reach inside,
           teach your heart to dance,
           join you for a wild ride
   through all of life, * not just romance.

CHORUS:
     It's time you found the lovin' that feels like comin' home.
     It's time your heart stopped livin' on its own.
       Go out an' find the woman who
          ain't just puttin' up with you
      who never shies from fightin'
but who's always on your side,
   who'll love you with the lovin' that feels like comin' home.


BRIDGE:
             C                D
        Your laziness * ain't helpin' you.
             C                  D
         Get out there, search around.
             C                  B7
      You'll find out what your heart can do
             Em                 D          D7
             by the time you've found  ... 
HALF-CHORUS:
        that thrillin' kind of lovin' that chills you to the bone,
        that changes you in ways you'd never known.
           ( C                D )
        It's time you settled down;
           ( B                  Em )
        it's long past time you found
           ( C                 D )               G     ( Bm  Em7 )
        that woman's love that feels like comin' home,
           ( C           D )               G
         the lovin' that feels like comin' home.
