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 (you-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 nowhere on earth that I'd rather be
(Aaah-aaah) than holding you, tenderly

I've been waiting, for a girl like you (you-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
