He wasn't looking for a pretty face
She wasn't searching for the latest style
He didn't want someone who walked straight off the TV
She needed someone with an interior smile

She wasn't looking for a cuddle in the back seat
He wasn't looking for a five minute thrill
She wasn't thinking of tomorrow or of next week
This vacancy, he meant to permanently fill

Chorus:
I need an everlasting love
I need a friend and a lover divine
An everlasting, precious love
Wait for it, wait for it
Give it some time

Back in the world of disposable emotion
In the climate of temporary dreams
He wasn't looking for a notch on his bedpost
A love to push, pull and burst at the seams

Chorus

Is this love worth waiting for
Something special, something pure

Chorus

Wait for it, wait for it
Give it some time

Is this love worth waiting for
Bitterness will die for sure
Something special, something pure
Is this love worth waiting for

Repeat

Chorus x 3

Wait for it, wait for it
Give it some time

Chorus
