Waiting for a girl like you Lyrics

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
So long
I've been lookin' 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

[Pre-Chorus]
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 comin' on too strong?
This heart of mine has been hurt before
This time I wanna be sure

[Chorus]
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 love)
A love that will survive
I've been waiting for someone new (I've been waiting)
To make me feel alive (Alive)
Yeah, waiting for a girl like you (Waiting for a girl)
To come into my life

[Post-Chorus]
Ah-ah-ah

[Verse 2]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
Now, I know it's right
From the moment I wake up 'til deep in the night
There's nowhere on earth that I'd rather be
Than holding you tenderly

[Chorus]
I've been waiting for a girl like you (You)
To come into my life (Life)
I've been waiting for a girl like you (Waiting for a girl)
A love that will survive
I've been waiting (I've been waiting) for someone new
To make me feel alive
Yeah, waiting (Waiting) for a girl like you (Waiting for a girl)
To come into my life

[Post-Chorus]
Ah-ah-ah

[Outro]
I've been waitin'
Waitin' for you (Ah)
Ooh, I've been waitin' (Waitin')
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?
(I've been waiting for a girl like you)
(I've been waiting)
Ah
For so long
Been waiting so long
