Words and Music © 1984 by John Tabacco and Nick DiMauro
Published by It iz What It Iz Music (SESAC)

Nick and John song number 2. He wrote the verse and the hook and I came up with the middle section. It would have been a good number for Pat Benetar. Nick sings lead in a voice I've never heard him use since. Gerry Palisi plays guitar. His outro soloing was ultimately lifted and used as the solo for "Scare Puck City". I played live drums which are unfortunately are not too tight. Oh well. We had just purchased a D-12 E microphone for kick drum recording, so this was a perfect testing vehicle for us to achieve that professional million dollar beefy sound. It almost worked.
This piece was remixed in 1991 at MVR.

lyrics

FIND A WAY

I looked all over for a girl like you
One that could make me feel that love was true
But every time I feel the same old pain
If I don't find her soon I'll go insane

FIND A WAY
FIND A WAY TO GET ME THROUGH
COME ON AND FIND A WAY TO MAKE MY LOVE TRUE
COME ON AND FIND A WAY
FIND A WAY TO GET ME THROUGH
OH OH OH
BUT THERE'S NO WAY
WITHOUT A GIRL LIKE YOU

I gave you lovin' but you just don't care
you're kind of lovin' ain't the kind to share
I tried to make it work but hey, no way
I'll keep on workin' till I hear you say

FIND A WAY
FIND A WAY TO GET ME THROUGH
COME ON AND FIND A WAY TO MAKE MY LOVE TRUE
COME ON AND FIND A WAY
FIND A WAY TO GET ME THROUGH
OH OH OH
BUT THERE'S NO WAY

You had that willing look about you all night long
But now it seems it's not the same
Cause here I am a child, a victim of your wrong
But I can't play your little game
OH OH OH OH OH!

FIND A WAY
FIND A WAY TO GET ME THROUGH
COME ON AND FIND A WAY TO MAKE MY LOVE TRUE
COME ON AND FIND A WAY
FIND A WAY TO GET ME THROUGH
OH OH OH
