Story Behind The Song
I wrote this when I was getting frustrated with the online dating scene. The females were so plentiful that guys felt like they needn't bother with anyone even close to their age and not an absolute knock-out looks-wise. It was getting depressing. Why can't a guy be looking for someone, well like ME for example?
If you get the CD, you'll see I added a little asterisk next to the song, on the inside, and wrote: *I found him!
I did. The love of my life. And he WAS looking for a woman just like me and I found him- on an online date site! Go figure.

Lyrics
I'm looking for a man who's looking for a woman just like me
Not a centerfold, but a woman you can hold and treat so tenderly.
If you're looking for a 36D, just keep on walkin' when you get to me
Cause I'm looking for a man who's looking for a woman just like me.
I'm looking for a man who's looking for a woman just like me.
Not an Airhead Jane, but a woman with brains and sensitivity.
I have straightened out priorities, a sense of my authority, and responsibility,
And I'm looking for a man who's looking for a woman just like me.
I'm not getting any younger while I'm waitin' to find
A man who wants a woman with a mind
Doesn't it count that I'm talented and kind, with personality?
I'm looking for a man who's looking for a woman just like me.
Not a nubile teen or a beauty queen, but a pleasant sight to see.
I'm a pretty woman with sex appeal,
I'm looking for love but it's gotta be real.
I'm looking for a man who's looking for a woman
I'm looking for a man who's looking for a woman
Looking for a man who's looking for a woman
Just like me.
