Foreigner - Waiting For A Girl Like You Lyrics

So long, Ive been looking too hard, Ive been waiting too long
Sometimes I dont know what I will find, I only know its 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 Im wrong, wont you tell me if Im coming on too strong
This heart of mine has been hurt before, this time I wanna be sure

Ive been waiting for a girl like you to come into my life
Ive been waiting for a girl like you, your loving will survive
Ive been waiting for someone new to make me feel alive
Yeah, waiting for a girl like you to come into my life

Youre so good, when we make love its understood
Its 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 its right, from the moment I wake up till deep in the night
Theres nowhere on earth that Id rather be than holding you tenderly

Ive been waiting for a girl like you to come into my life
Ive been waiting for a girl like you, your loving will survive
Ive been waiting for someone new to make me feel alive
Yeah, waiting for a girl like you to come into my life

Ive been waiting, waiting for you, ooh, Ive been waiting
Ive been waiting
(Ive been waiting for a girl like you, Ive been waiting)
Wont you come into my life?

Foreigner - Waiting For A Girl Like You Review and Song Info

It has become one of the band’s most famous songs worldwide, peaking at #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and at #8 on the UK Singles Chart. Despite not reaching the top of the Hot 100, it reached #1 on the Mainstream Rock Chart for one week.

“Waiting for a Girl Like You” achieved an odd chart distinction by spending a record-setting 10 weeks in the #2 position of the Billboard Hot 100 chart, without ever reaching the top. This was in no small part due to Olivia Newton-John’s single “Physical”, which was a #1 hit for ten weeks. At the time, Newton-John’s run was one week short of the all-time record.

This song is featured in the 2002 videogame Grand Theft Auto: Vice City as part of the Power Ballads radio station Emotion 98.3.
