Foghat specialized in a simple, hard-rocking blues-rock, releasing a series of best-selling albums in the mid-'70s. While the group never deviated from their basic boogie, they retained a large audience until 1978, selling out concerts across America and earning five gold albums, as well as two platinum. Once punk and disco came along, the band's audience dipped dramatically, yet the group continued performing through 1983. With its straight-ahead, three-chord romps, the band's sound was American in origin, yet the members were all natives of England. Guitarist/vocalist "Lonesome" Dave Peverett, bassist Tony Stevens, and drummer Roger Earl were members of the British blues band Savoy Brown, who all left the group in the early '70s.

Full Time Lover Lyrics

Foghat

Dave Peverett - Riff Bros. Music - ASCAP

Long distance operator try another line,
There's no reply on this one, what a waste of time!
She can't be working, and she can't be in her bed,
She can't be home now, guess I'll drop a line instead.
In my wild days I had a girl on every page,
Now some don't want me and the others are engaged.
My little black book is about to bite the dust,
My telephone bell can't ring through all that rust.
I gotta find a full time lover,
I gotta find a full time lover.
Now my one night stands are so hazy,
And my social life is so crazy.
Hey operator, one more call before I'm done,
Forget Yolanda, I know Zelda is the one.
Last time I saw her, she was moving to Hong Kong,
She said she'd love me - 'til the real thing comes along.
I gotta find a full time lover,
I gotta find a full time lover.
Now my one night stands are so hazy,
And my social life is so crazy.
If it wasn't for me, my house would be deserted.
If it wasn't for me, I would have someone to hold on to.
I gotta find a full time lover,
I gotta find a full time lover.
{Instrumental - Dave - Solo}
I gotta find a full time lover,
I gotta find a full time lover,
I gotta find a full time lover...
