Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I don't know what you did

But you did something to me

All of my doubts have disappeared

I'd had enough, given up

Watched all my friends get married

Lonely under the chandelier

[PreChorus]

Always kept up my guard

Wasn't ready for love

Just a beat in my heart with no use

On the bench, watching out

But it's clear to me now

All this time I was waiting for you

[Chorus]

For you, ooh

For you, ooh, oh-oh

For you, ooh, ooh

For you, ooh, oh-oh

I was waiting for you

[Verse 2]

Now you're here by my side

Look at you smiling at me

Sun in the sky don't shine so bright

Finally, I believe

In all these love stories

They will come find you when it's time

[PreChorus]

Always kept up my guard

Wasn't ready for love

Just a beat in my heart with no use

On the bench, watching out

But it's clear to me now

All this time I was waiting for you

[Chorus]

For you, ooh

For you, ooh, oh-oh

For you, ooh, ooh

For you, ooh, oh-oh

I was waiting for you

[Bridge]

I was waiting

I was waiting for you

I was waiting

I was waiting for you

I was waiting

I was waiting for you

I was waiting

I was waiting for you

[PreChorus]

Always kept up my guard

Wasn't ready for love

Just a beat in my heart with no use

On the bench, watching out

But it's clear to me now

All this time I was waiting for you

For you, yeah

I was waiting

[Chorus]

I was waiting for you

[Bridge]

I was waiting

I was waiting for you

I was waiting

I was waiting for you

I was waiting

I was waiting for you

I was waiting

I was waiting for you
