WAITING FOR A GIRL LIKE YOU (FOOTLOOSE, 1984)

“Hey, hey! What's this I see? I thought this was a party.

Let's Dance!” - Ren

Another one of the memorable songs in the equally memorable dance film of the ‘80’s Footloose is the song Waiting For A Girl Like You by Foreigner.


WAITING FOR A GIRL LIKE YOU
sung by: Foreigner

So long, I've been looking 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

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 wanna 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

Your loving will survive

I've been waiting for someone new

To make me feel alive

Yeah, waiting for a girl like you

To come into my life

You're so good

When we make love it's understood

It's more than a touch or a word can 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

I'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

Your loving will survive

I've been waiting for someone new

To make me feel alive

Yeah, waiting for a girl like you

To come into my life

I've been waiting, waiting for you

Ooh, I've been waiting

I've been waiting

(I've been waiting for a girl like you, I've been waiting)

Won't you come into my life?
