He wasn't looking for a pretty face 
She wasn't searching for the latest style 
He didn't want someone who walked straight off the tv 
She needed someone with an interior smile 

She wasn't looking for a cuddle in the back seat 
He wasn't looking for a five minute thrill 
She wasn't thinking of tomorrow or of next week 
This vacancy he meant to permanently fill 

I need an everlasting love 
I need a friend and a lover divine 
An everlasting precious love 
Wait for it, wait for it, give it some time 

Back in the world of disposable emotion 
In the climate of temporary dreams 
He wasn't looking for a notch on his bedpost 
love to push, pull, and burst at the seams

 I need an everlasting love
 I need a friend and a lover divine 
An everlasting precious love 
Wait for it, wait for it, give it some time 

Is this love worth waiting for? 
Something special, something pure 

Is this love worth waiting for? 
Bitterness will die for sure 
Something precious, something pure 
Is this love worth waiting for?
