All my friends tell me About the loves they've had Can't they see what they're doing to me? It makes me feel so bad Cause I'm so alone And brokenhearted It ain't like my life is ended But more like it never started The love my friends rap about I keep anticipating I try so hard but don't you know, my patience is fading away Still waiting I'm waiting for that love Still waiting I wish on every star above Still waiting Waiting for the love to come around Oh, love. Waiting for the love to come around People say that I'm too young Too young to fall in love But they don't know, they really don't know That's all that I've been dreaming of Cause I spend my nights just a-crying And I spend my days just a-trying To find that love to call my own Cause I'm sick and tired of being alone Still waiting Waiting for that love Still waiting I wish on every star above Still waiting I'm waiting for the love to come around. (Waiting for the love) Don't you know that I'm waiting (Waiting for the love) Say.. (Waiting for the love) To come around now I need somebody to hold on to baby Waiting and waiting, don't you know that I'm Still waiting I'm waiting for the love, sugar Still waiting If you're out there girl, please come to me Still waiting Don't make me cry no more Still waiting If you're out there, baby, please come to me Still waiting Wishing and wishing for days, baby Still waiting If you're out there, girl, please come to me Still waiting
