Lyrics
[Verse 1]
All my life, waiting for somebody
Ah ha ha, come and take my hand
All my life, waiting for somebody
[Verse 2]
Ah ha ha, whoa, yeah
Ah ha ha, ah haha
Ah ha ha, ah ha ha
Down so long, doesn't really matter
This downtown home, been kicked
And I been spurred
You come along? it doesn't really matter
I'll go it alone, doesn't even hurt
[Verse 3]
All my life, waiting for somebody
Ah ha ha, whoa, yeah
All my life, waiting on somebody
Ah ha ha, ooh, yeah
I'm waitin' for the day
Waitin' for the day
That you come my way
Hey, hey
Ah ha ha, ah ha ha
Ah ha ha, ah ha ha
[Verse 4]
I knew down deep, I made a big decision
I'm going to sleep and I'm going there alone
I know damn well, I'm tired of all this crying
On my feet as far as I can tell
[Verse 5]
I'm waitin' for the day
Waitin' for the day
That you come my way
[Verse 6]
Somebody, somebody
Somebody, ooh, somebody, oh
[Verse 7]
Waitin' for somebody
Ah ha ha, ah ha ha
(Somebody)
Ah ha ha
Ah ha ha
[Verse 8]
(Waitin' for somebody)
Ah ha ha
(Waitin' for somebody)
Ah ha ha
Waitin' for somebody all my life
[Verse 9]
Hey, hey, hey
Ah ha ha
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
