[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

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

[Chorus]
I've been waiting, ah, for a girl like you
To come into my life
I've been waiting for a girl like you (Waiting for a girl)
A love that will survive
I've been waiting (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
Won't you come into my life?

[Pre-Chorus]
There's nowhere on Earth that I'd rather be
Than holding you tenderly

[Chorus]
I've been waiting for a girl like you
To come into my 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
