I cannot remember feeling

Quite so self assured it must have

Been back in my teens

I was such a basket case when

I was young it's obviously

Something that I dreamed

I have always been a most

Reclusive kind of guy

When love's around I usually

run and hide

But don't you go believin' I was

Ever that confused, I was

Really only waiting for you

I cannot escape the over-

whelming feeling destiny has

Taken us in hand

And nothing that we do is gonna

Change the way this love affair is

Never gonna end

And I know it's hard getting used to the idea

That your lover wants to be your best friend

With a showing of affection and a

Measure of romance, this is

Really only waiting for you

I've been living by myself I do not

Want for someone else at least that's

What I like to say

It was working til the other day I

Met you and I fell in love from

Twenty yards away

I've got one last truly great

Love left in my life

And my heart is tellin' me

it might be you

So forget your disappointments, I'll

Forget about my past, I was

Really only waiting for you

Really only waiting for you

And what do you suppose

that we can do

Anything whatever that you

Want to last forever

Really only waiting for you
