Looking For A New Love - Jody Watley



Was she hot?
Did she turn you on?
Curiosity rules my brain
Was she worth my heart?
It’s torn all apart
Are you going back again?

Looking For A New Love (Extended Club Version)

Jody is one hot mama! She burnt the dance floor with this hit.

This is my favorite track from her debut solo album, Jody Watley. I still remember her hot video where she got a hot tattoo on her leg.

"Looking for a New Love" became one of the biggest pop and R&B singles of 1987. While listening to a tape of instrumental tracks given to her by producer André Cymone, Watley reflected on a recent sour romantic breakup. Fusing her own feelings with the feel of the track, Watley came up with the basic premise of "Looking for a New Love."

This is how you can turn something bad into something positive. What a brilliant empowering "break-up" song, don't you think?

She even popularized the phrase "Hasta la Vista, baby" long long before Arnie did in the Terminator movie.

Lyrics
Gave you 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 on?
Curiosity rules my brain
Was she worth my heart?
It’s torn all apart
Are you going back again?

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
