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
