Lyrics (Start at 0:33):

So long
I’ve been looking too hard, l’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

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 want to 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, you’re a love that will survive (Waiting for a love)
I’ve been waiting (Waiting)
For someone new to make me feel alive
Yeah, waiting
For a girl like you to come into my life (Waiting for a girl)

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

Now, I know it’s right
From the moment I wake up, till deep in the night
There’s nowhere on Earth that l’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, you’re a love that will survive (Waiting for a love)
I’ve been waiting (I’ve been waiting)
For someone new to make me feel alive
Yeah, waiting (Waiting)
For a girl like you to come into my life (Waiting for a girl)

I’ve been waiting
Waiting for you, ooh
Ooh, I’ve been waiting
(Waiting) I’ve been waiting, yeah
(I’ve been waiting for a girl like you, l’ve been waiting) Won’t you come into my life
