something was missing

Jamie Foxx

I've made me a fortune
(That fortune made ten)
Been headlined
And profiled
Again and again
But something was missing
(I never quite knew)
That something was someone
But who?

My speeches are greeted
With thunderous acclaim
At two universities
Bearing my name
Yes, something was missing
Each timei got through
That something was someone
But who?

Who could that someone be?
How could she make it known?
Who would need me for me?
Need me for me alone?
He world was my oyster
But where was the pearl?
Who dreamed I could find it
Yes something was missing
But dreams can come true
That something
Is no one
But you

Who would need me for me?
Need me for me alone
The world was my oyster
But where was the pearl?
Who'd dream I would find it
In one little girl?
Yes, something was missing
But dreams do come true
That something is no one... but you
