Personal Ad

My time and life were empty,
So I found myself online.
I spent hours at my computer
To fill this void of mine.
I was looking for something,
No idea what it might be.
Then I found a personal
Ad in front of me.

So I began to read the words,
Yes, the photo caught my eye.
Love hasn't worked the old fashioned way,
Why not give this a try?
So I made known my interest,
Now I must wait patiently.
One day it came in my e-mail,
A returned response to me.

CHORUS
Yahoo-----Yahoo,
I owe it all to you
For connecting me to something that I never had.
It was so hard to find
Until I shopped for it online.
Yes, I found love through a personal ad.
Now, I've got love and Yahoo bad.

It was so intriguing,
Oh, the mystery of it all.
We talked hours by instant messenger,
Sometimes hours with a call.
Even though we were strangers,
We learned each other through and through.
After months of talk, it was time to meet,
To see if the match was true.

CHORUS
Yahoo-----Yahoo,
I owe it all to you
For connecting me to something that I never had.
It was so hard to find
Until I shopped for it online.
Yes, I found love through a personal ad.
Now, I've got love and Yahoo bad.

You headed north as I drove south,
To a rendezvous halfway.
My nerves kept me company,
To the middle of PA.
My heart just knew that it was you,
Even before our first kiss.
My first words, as we met face to face,
Went something like this.

CHORUS
Yahoo------Yahoo,
I owe it all to you
For connecting me to something that I never had.
Until I shopped for it online.
Yes, I found love through a personal ad.
Now, I've got love and Yahoo bad.
