Rick Springfield - Waiting For A Girl Like You Lyrics






So long
I've been looking too hard, I've waiting too long
Sometimes I don't know what I will find
I only know it's 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 I'm wrong
Won't you tell me if I'm coming on too strong?
This heart of mine has been hurt before
This time I wanna be sure

I've been waiting for a girl like you
To come into my life
I've been waiting for a girl like you
A love that will survive
I've been waiting for someone new
To make me feel alive
Yeah, waiting for a girl like you
To come into my life

You're so good
When we make love it's understood
It's more than a touch or a word we say
Only in dreams could it be this way
When you love someone
Yeah, really love someone

Now, I know it's right
From the moment I wake up till deep in the night
There's no where on earth that I'd rather be
Than holding you, tenderly

I've been waiting for a girl like you
To come into my life
I've been waiting for a girl like you
And a love that will survive
I've been waiting for someone new
To make me feel alive
Yeah, waiting for a girl like you
To come into my life

I've been waiting, waiting for you, ooh
Ooh, I've been waiting
I've been waiting, yeah
I've been waiting for a girl like you
I've been waiting
Won't you come into my life?
My life?

    As a Rick Springfield fan since 81, at his age his voice does strain on this one but Lou Gramm is a tough act to follow, overall not bad

  9. C.... O....

    Encore une bonne reprise mais de Foreigner cette fois 👏 Rick 👍.

  10. S.... ....

    I write romance novels. Love to have songs in the background to invoke that 'right' touch. This is now on my playlist... the voice is so seductive. keep it up. "Cougar is purring"

  11. A.... V....

    Me encanta ❤

  12. D.... H....

    Rick is my teenage heart throb. Was my first concert When I was 13 in 1984. My first love. I had all his albums and the movie "Hard to Hold" was so in love with him. I love how he made this song his own. Ive always wanted to meet him. I guess I still dream about it haha.

    D.... H....

    still get those chills and thrills.

  13. T.... L....

  17. N.... H....

    Should have left this one alone, Lou gramm is to hard an act to follow.

  18. b.... w....

    no love ricks music but not on this some songs should just be left alone as good as rick is he just sounds to struggle with this kid of like everyone now trying to remake sound of silence that song was perfect for Simon and Garfunkel no one else also some songs can be improved like orgy's cover of new orders blue Monday they just blew that out of the park with heavier tempo and vocals some work some don't this doesn't just my opinion I know

  19. G.... D....

    +chris ruona uuuuuuuuuuu

  31. R.... S....

    I never thought I'd see the day when Rick Springfield would be doing cover songs. He must have some serious writers block going on. I know he wrote most of his own material back in the '80's.

    R.... S....

    @Tom Goodwin I'll have to look them up and listen their stuff. You would think I'd heard of them since I've been to Australia several times, but not in this case. "State Of The Heart" came out about the same time that Rick was on the way out as far being a major hit contender in the 1980's, so I'm not surprised that it would be a cover.

    R.... S....

    +Robbie Stewart Yeah, I knew it was a few years after Jessie's Girl, haha!
    Mondo Rock was lead by the same guy who used to lead Daddy Cool, Ross Wilson. I don't think Daddy Cool were so big in the U.S., but you might have heard their song 'Eagle Rock'. Mondo Rock's biggest song over here was called "Come Said The Boy". and actually got them banned on a radio station or two.
    Ross Wilson is still active over here, as a solo artist and producer. He tours occasionally with reformed versions of Mondo Rock and Daddy Cool from time to time.

    R.... S....

    @Tom Goodwin Sorry, I've never heard "Eagle Rock." When I get some time, I'll look it up. Been busy with a major project for the last several weeks and I'm tired right now. I'll probably recognize the song when I hear it because, like I said, I've been to Australia a few times. Used to land in Sydney, then on to Adelaide, and finally Coober Pedy. Mom has some friends in Coober Pedy who work in the Opal mines there and we've stayed in their dugouts a few times and I've listened to a few radio stations there in the past, so I'll probably recognize the song when I hear it.

    R.... S....

    When he did this he said these are all songs he wished he had written. Some good covers some why Rick why on this album.

    R.... S....

    +Robbie Stewart "Black is Black" was a cover on "Success Hasn't Spoiled Me Yet." The one that blew my mind, that I just discovered last week, was "State of the Heart." I always thought it was his song. He and Tim Pierce got writing credits for adding the bridge.

  32. G.... G....

    love his voice he is so Hot !!!!!

  33. v.... ....

    Love his voice.Love Rick.Yummy!!!!!!

  34. a.... ....

    For Julie. Hi girl. A nice interpretation of the Foreigner song don't you think? 

  35. P.... R....

    I love this video you put together of Rick and i love this song version! Thank you for posting and sharing this video! :) <3

  36. T.... A....

    Just about a little over a month ago I seen this man in person...so much better looking in person! His (this) version of this song just makes me understand him just a little bit of the aingst he goes through with his "struggle". My husband also has the same problem and when we both listen to it together it helps us get through too.This should of been our wedding song if we heard it before another one of Foreiner's other hits..."I WANT TO KNOW WHAT LOVE IS" but,.... Thanx, to whomever was the genius that put this together and one question for anybody....does anybody know if Rick put this on any of his albums/cd's?? I would love to have a copy. ♥♡♥♡♥♡♥♡♥♡

  37. V.... R....

    Rick's version is much better than Foreigner's version.  I've loved this song always!  Thank you Rick.  I've loved you always too!

    V.... R....

    Vickie Rockino

    Agreed

    This is the same song except real

  38. b.... ....

    I personally love this version of the song, along with many others I'm sure, but hey your entitled to your opinion

  39. a.... ....

    I really like his music have his records, but this is not one of his best efforts. I know I will get flack for it, but I do not like the vocal. Sounds forced and scratchy, not raspy as others might say.

  40. L.... L....

    AWESOME!!
    Rick did a beautiful job with this song!!
    I've always loved this song, but this version is my all time favorite now!
    Love you Rick!!!

  41. B.... J....

    LOVE this and Rick :)

  42. L.... S....

    LOVE this! I remember listening to another version of this song rapturously as a teenager! Why didn't they include this on the Nick Knight soundtrack?

  43. A.... ....

    Wow...that was real nice...Thank you for putting that together!

  44. l.... ....

    holly crap he is so hot !!!!!!!!

  45. D.... S....

    I saw him on the seventh,after twenty nine years of waiting,and it was well worth the wait.It was beautiful hearing him close and live.I wish him nothing but the best,happiness,and peacefulness.

  46. K.... D....

    Yes, awesome, I come to it time & time again, when I need comfort, & this night is one.Lost a dear friend to cancer, he comforts me, his voice, everything about this man comforts me, thank you so much for making it, I post it a lot on FB & everyone loves it. Great job, this will always be on my playlist.

  47. G.... ....

    AWESOME !!!!!!!

  48. L.... ....

    yes yes yes....

  49. K.... D....

    Beautiful man, beautiful rendition of the song, my very favorite of all his songs!!!!Nothing gets any better than him as far as I am concerned,loved Foreigner, but Rick does it better.

  50. V.... D....

    Rick reinterprets it with a special feeling, great great

  51. L.... M....

    i love it!!!!!!!! he does a wonderful job on this song he did better than foreigner i think but then again i am a long time Rick Springfield fan hehe

  52. C.... C....

    Great job, thx.I love this song and if it singing for Rick better.

  53. 1.... ....

    Not bad, but I like Foreigner's version better.
