Back in the day I did not know
What to look for in my new beau
So I would just settle for guys I should never
Even have dated but now I know better

Because I've experienced
All types of relationships
Now I know what I need
So I shall just lead
My dream guy into real life with me, yeah, yeah, yeah

I'm lookin' for guy
To play the lead in my life
I'm sure that in due time
That I'll find my Mr. Right

To all of the men who are out there
All the single ladies want to know where
So put your hands up in the air
And say, "I'm right here"

To all of the men who are out there
All the single ladies want to know where
So put your hands up in the air
And say, "I'm right here"

You got a real style, beautiful smile
Wears that cologne that drives women wild
Takes more than just looks to get me shook
If he catches my mind he'll have me hooked

Want a guy with intelligence
A perfect gentleman
To be more than a lover, be more than my man
A guy who could be my best friend

I'm lookin' for guy
To play the lead in my life (In my life)
I'm sure that in due time
That I'll find my Mr. Right

To all of the men who are out there
All the single ladies want to know where
So put your hands up in the air
And say, "I'm right here"

To all of the men who are out there
All the single ladies want to know where
So put your hands up in the air
And say, "I'm right here"

I want to where (I want to where)
Could they be over there (Could they be over there)
No, they're right here (No, they're right here)
I think they're over there (Could they be over there)

Say I want to where (Say I want to where)
I think they're over here (I think they're over here)
I know they're here somewhere (I know they're here
Somewhere)
I know there are good men out there

[REGGAE RAP]

To all of the men who are out there (Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
All the single ladies want to know where
So put your hands up in the air (In the air)
And say, "I'm right here"

To all of the men who are out there (Out there)
All the single ladies want to know where (Wanna know
Where)
So put your hands up in the air
And say, "I'm right here"

To all of the men who are out there (Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
All the single ladies want to know where
So put your hands up in the air
And say, "I'm right here"

To all of the men who are out there
All the single ladies want to know where
So put your hands up in the air (Up in the air)
And say, "I'm right here"

To all of the men who are out there (Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
All the single ladies want to know where
So put your hands up in the air
And say, "I'm right here"

To all of the men who are out there
All the single ladies want to know where
