No one ever told me
During all those tears I cried
That one day you would hold me
I just kept hoping inside

 [bad word] love was waiting
 [bad word] love would find me in time
 [bad word] love was waiting
Your love would finally be mine

No one ever showed me
Such care and tenderness
Baby you know me
And what moves me the best

It's [bad word] love waiting
It's [bad word] love making up for lost time
It's [bad word] love waiting
Your love it's finally mine

And I can't erase these lines on my face
But I'd turn back time if I could
But all the years wanting, the desperate longing,
Are maybe what makes this so good

 [bad word] love, waiting
 [bad word] love that found us in time
 [bad word] love is waiting
Your love is finally mine

 [bad word] love is waiting
Your love is finally mine.
