So long, I've been looking too hard
I've been waiting too long
Sometimes I don't know what I will find
I only know it's a matter of time

When you love someone, when you love someone
It feels so right, so warm and true
I need to know if you feel it too

(Ah, ah) maybe I'm wrong
(Ah, ah) won't you tell me if I'm coming on too strong?
(Ah, ah) this heart of mine has been hurt before
(Ah, ah) this time I wanna be sure

I've been waiting for a girl like you (oh, oh, oh)
To come into my life
I've been waiting for a girl like you (waiting for, ah, ah)
And a love that will survive
I've been waiting (I've been waiting) for someone new (new)
To make me feel alive
Yeah, waiting, for a girl like you (waiting for a girl) to come into my life
(Ah, ah, ah, ah)

You're so good, when we make love it's understood
It's more than a touch or a word we say
Only in dreams could it be this way
When you love someone, yeah, really love someone

(Ah, ah) now I know it's right
(Ah, ah) from the moment I wake up till deep in the night
(Ah, ah) there's nowhere on earth that I'd rather be
(Ah, ah) than holding you, tenderly

I've been waiting for a girl like you (oh, oh, oh)
To come into my life
I've been waiting, for a girl like you (waiting for, ah, ah)
And a love that will survive
I've been waiting (I've been waiting) for someone new oh, oh, oh)
(New) to make me feel alive (ah, ah)
Yeah waiting (waiting), for a girl like you (waiting for, ah, ah)
To come into my life

(Oh, oh, oh, oh) I've been waiting (ah,ah)
Waiting for you, oh
(Ah, ah) oh, oh, I've been waiting
(Waiting) I've been waiting, yeah (ah, ah)
(I've been waiting, for a girl like you, I've been waiting)
Won't you come into my life? (life)
