I won't give you the answers that you seek

I won't give you the answers that you seek,
on finding that one special Mr. Right,
but I will steer you there with words I speak.

He need not be an oil man or a Sheik,
to brighten up the day and warm the night.
I won't give you the answers that you seek,

though I will surely offer you a peek.
To find such man will be your private fight,
but I will steer you there with words I speak.

With questions let your interest be piqued--
are patience, listening and speaking, right?
I won't give you the answers that you seek.

A good heart, caring, humble, strong yet meek--
all good? Assuredly, not all, though quite,
but I will steer you there with words I speak.

Would you not seek a man who'd plainly speak
and act in ways that make you feel alright?
I won't give you the answers that you seek
but I will steer you there with words I speak.
