Lyrics only - early 80's please help

First post so Hi to all.

I remember hearing this track when I was about 15 so it is from around 1982.

I can't remember if it was male or female vocals so this is some long shot. I can't even remember all the words hence the Baaas!!

'I have been to many places, but I've never been loved this before.
Ba ba baa baa ba ba faces, but I've never been loved like this before'

Oh, and it's not The Dells, Stephanie Mills or Silk. Been there, bought them.

I wonder if it's Tavares 'Never Had A Love Like This Before' ?

[livinginthepast]

Swift reply, great try...but, no.
Not enough BPM - class tune though.

Most def 'never been loved like this before' or maybe 'never had love like this before'

Whoa, I'm sorry it's taken me so long to reply but no, that's not it either.

Any further ideas welcome,

Well if it's none of those, then

IT MUST BE LOVE - Alton McClain & Destiny ( 12" Mix )

YouTube - IT MUST BE LOVE - Alton Mcclain & Destiny ( 12" Mix )

[livinginthepast]

A tune but alas not THE tune.

Please keep your suggestions coming. This has kinda bugged me for over 25 years and would really put a full stop after one quest!

I managed to get all the songs from my various tapes from a record shop in Essex but this one stumped them (maybe my singing or lyric recollection was that bad?)

thanks again

Think I found it:

Patrick Boothe - Never Knew Love Like This Before


Edit: Oops Link on Youtube is the instrumental... here a vocal sample

[livinginthepast]

dank u zeer
u bent een god!
You have just ended 25 years of searching. I first heard this track at a friends house when I was about 15.
I've just found a copy of the tune and I'll have to get my record deck out of the loft.
If you are near Hendrik-ido-Ambacht I'll buy you a beer next time I'm visiting.
Thanks again,
Craig
