lyrics

I’VE BEEN WAITING

CHORUS
SEEMS LIKE ALL OF MY LIFE I’VE BEEN WAITING
I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR SOMEBODY NEW
SEEMS LIKE ALL OF MY LIVE I’VE BEEN WAITING NOW, HONEY
BEEN WAITING FOR SOMEONE LIKE YOU

VERSE
I’VE WAITED IN LINE IN THE ARMY
I’VE WAITING IN LINE FOR A BEER
I’VE WAITED SO LONG JUST TO HOLD YOU
AND NOW YOU ARE STANDING SO NEAR TO ME

CHORUS
SEEMS LIKE ALL OF MY LIFE I’VE BEEN WAITING
I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR SOMEBODY NEW
SEEMS LIKE ALL OF MY LIVE I’VE BEEN WAITING NOW, HONEY
BEEN WAITING FOR SOMEONE LIKE YOU

VERSE
I’VE WAITED IN LINE FOR A PHONE CALL
TO TELL ME THAT MY CHECK’S IN THE MAIL
I’VE WAITED FOR A FRIEND TO PHONE A LAWYER
SO HE CAN COME AND GET MY ASS OUT OF JAIL

I’VE WAITED IN LINE AT THE DOCTOR’S
AND I’VE WAITED IN LINE FOR A CURE
I’VE WAITED IN LINE AT THE AIRPORT
AND THIS TIME I’M LEAVING FOR SURE

CHORUS
SEEMS LIKE ALL OF MY LIFE I’VE BEEN WAITING
I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR SOMEBODY NEW
SEEMS LIKE ALL OF MY LIVE I’VE BEEN WAITING NOW, HONEY
BEEN WAITING FOR SOMEONE LIKE YOU

VERSE
I’VE WAITED FOR THE SNOW TO STOP FALLING
AND I’VE WAITED FOR A TAXI IN THE RAIN
BUT WAITING FOR A WOMAN TO PUT HER MAKEUP ON
IS LIKE WAITING FOR A LONG FREIGHT TRAIN

I’VE WAITED IN LINE WHERE ONLY HEAVEN WAITS
I’VE WAITED IN LINE IN THE COLD
I’VE WAITED IN LINE WHERE PEOPLE CONGREGATE
AND THEY’RE TRYING TO SAVE MY SOUL

CHORUS
SEEMS LIKE ALL OF MY LIFE I’VE BEEN WAITING
I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR SOMEBODY NEW
SEEMS LIKE ALL OF MY LIVE I’VE BEEN WAITING NOW, HONEY
BEEN WAITING FOR SOMEONE LIKE YOU
I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR SOMEBODY NEW
I’VE BEEN WAITING AND NOW I AIN’T BLUE
