Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I've been waiting for someone to come into my life
Who would bring me joy and give me pleasure
I have taken chances on romances once or twice
And I found that in my heart, it's you I treasure
[Verse 2]
You and only you can make me feel the way I do
You and only you can make it better
You and only you can do the freaky things you do
And I'm so into you and that's forever and ever
[Verse 3]
All my life, my love's been waiting for you
For you
All my life, my heart's been waiting too
[Verse 4]
(Wait for you)
(Whatcha gon' do?)
[Verse 5]
All my life, all my life, all my life, all my life
All my life, all my life, all my life, all my life
[Verse 6]
Oh, I've been wishing on a star, been praying on my knees
I've got some sly and sexy tricks to show you
Most of all, I'll give you anything, boy, that you need
To keep you right here by my side, I know you, I'll show you
[Verse 7]
You and only you can make me feel the way I do
You and only you can make it better
You and only you can do the freaky things you do
And I'm so into you and that's forever and ever
[Verse 8]
All my life, my love's been waiting for you
My life's been waitin' for you baby
All my life, my heart's been waiting too
I been thinking
Don't you know I need you and adore you?
Don't you know I need you boy? I adore you
All my life, I'll give to only you
I'm gonna give it to you baby
[Verse 9]
All my life, all my life, all my life, all my life
(All my life, every night, all my life, you're on my mind)
All my life, all my life, all my life, all my life
(All my life, every night, all my life, you're on my mind)
All my life, all my life, all my life, all my life
(All my life, every night, all my life, you're on my mind)
All my life, all my life, all my life, all my life
(All my life, every night, all my life, every night)
[Verse 10]
I have taken chances on romances once or twice
(Oh, whoa)
I have taken chances on romances once or twice
(I'll be wishing on a star)
I have taken chances on romances once or twice
(Hey, yeah I've been waiting)
I have taken chances on romances once or twice
(For someone who could bring me joy)
I have taken chances on romances once or twice
(I've been waiting)
I have taken chances on romances once or twice
(Waiting)
I have taken chances on romances once or twice
(Oh yeah)
I have taken chances on romances once or twice
(All my life)
I have taken chances on romances once or twice
But I've found in you my pleasure
