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 that it's a matter of time
When you love someone, when you love someone
Well, it feels so right, so warm and true, I need to know if you feel it too

Maybe I'm wrong, won't you tell me if I'm coming on too strong
This heart of mine has been hurt before, this time I gotta be sure

I've been waiting for a girl like you to come into my life
I've been waiting for a girl like you, your loving will survive
I've been waiting for someone new to make me feel alive
Yeah, waiting for a girl like you to come into my life

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

Now I know it's right, from the moment I wake up until deep in the night
There's nowhere on earth that I'd rather be than holding you tenderly

I've been waiting for a girl like you to come into my life
I've been waiting for a girl like you, your loving will survive
I've been waiting for someone new to make me feel alive
Yeah, waiting for a girl like you to come into my life, oh yeah

I've been waiting, waiting for you
I've been waiting, I've been waiting for you
