(Bob McDill/Dickey Lee)

Others have touched me 
Soft in the night 
Others have kissed me 
And held me tight 
Good times and lovers 
Yes, I've had a few 
But I was just waiting 
For someone like you 

I have been lonely 
And I have been loved 
I've grown used to losing 
What I'm fondest of 
I can see clearly now 
My whole life through 
I was just waiting 
For someone like you 

But I never wasted 
A minute of my time 
Every road I ever took 
Led me to your side 

No, I never wasted 
A minute of my time 
Every road I ever took 
Led me to your side 

Don't it seem funny, love 
That I never knew 
I was just waiting 
For someone like you 
I was just waiting 
I was just waiting 
For someone like you
