She pushed her groceries Past the beans and black eyed peas She picked a few cucombers up to weigh I looked close at her hand There was not a wedding band When she winked I nearly fainted dead away She walked toward the health food section And I followed her perfection She was one fine specimen of womanhood We checked our lists together As we talked about the weather I had the feeling things were going good        We were in the market for love        Sometimes groceries just aint enough        She's what I waited for so long        Man can't live by bread alone        We were in the market for love Her levis had me cross-eyed She almost had me tongue-tied I tried to be as cool as I could be I said, "Could we share some wine At your place or mine"? She said, "Honey, it's on aisle number three"        We were in the market for love        Sometimes groceries just ain't enough        She's what I waited for so long        A man can't live by bread alone        We were in the market for love Bridge And now we shop together at the store 'Won't be long till we're shopping for one more...        We were in the market for love        Sometimes groceries jus ain't enough        She's what I waited for so long        A man can't live by bread alone        We were in the market for love A song by Louis Brown and Mitch Ballard

In the Market for Love
She pushed her groceries Past the beans and black eyed peas She picked a few cucombers up to weigh I looked close at her hand There was not a wedding band When she winked I nearly fainted dead away She walked toward the health food section And I followed her perfection She was one fine specimen of womanhood We checked our lists together As we talked about the weather I had the feeling things were going good        We were in the market for love        Sometimes groceries just aint enough        She's what I waited for so long        Man can't live by bread alone        We were in the market for love Her levis had me cross-eyed She almost had me tongue-tied I tried to be as cool as I could be I said, "Could we share some wine At your place or mine"? She said, "Honey, it's on aisle number three"        We were in the market for love        Sometimes groceries just ain't enough        She's what I waited for so long        A man can't live by bread alone        We were in the market for love Bridge And now we shop together at the store 'Won't be long till we're shopping for one more...        We were in the market for love        Sometimes groceries jus ain't enough        She's what I waited for so long        A man can't live by bread alone        We were in the market for love A song by Louis Brown and Mitch Ballard
