So long, I've been looking too hard, I've 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 
(Aaah-aaah) maybe I'm wrong 
(Aaah-aaah) won't you tell me if I'm coming on too 
strong? 
(Aaah-aaah) this heart of mine has been hurt before 
(Aaah-aaah) this time I wanna be sure 
I've been waiting, for a girl like you 
(Ooh-ooh-ooh) to come into my life (life) 
I've been waiting, for a girl like you 
(Waiting for a girl) and a love that will survive 

I've been waiting (I've been waiting) for someone new 
(New) To make me feel alive, ah-ah 
Yeah, waiting for a girl like you (waiting for a girl) 
to come into my life 
(Aaah-aaah... Aaah-aaah...) 

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... 
(Aaah-aaah) now I know it's right 
(Aaah-aaah) from the moment I wake up till deep in the 
night 
(Aaah-aaah) there's no where on earth that I'd rather 
be 
(Aaah-aaah) than holding you, tenderly 

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

Oooh-oooh, oooh-oooh, I've been waiting 
Aaah-aaah, (waiting for you) oooh-oooh, oooh 
(Aaah-aaah) oooh-oooh, I've been waiting 
(Waiting) I've been waiting, yeah 
I've been waiting for a girl like you, I've been 
waiting 
Won't you come into my life? (Life?) My life? 
(It's been so long) I've been waiting for a girl like 
you 
I've been waiting, (I've been waiting) oh-oh
