You know I tried so long
Every time I thought I found it, I was wrong
I swear I must've spent a thousand nights
Looking for somebody who could hold me tight
Until I realized

I am the love of, the love of my life
I am the love of, the love of my life
I ain't got nobody else on my mind
I am the love of, the love of my life

I was just waiting for you, waiting for you, waiting for you
All my life praying for you, praying for you, praying for you
All that I wanted was someone to come
and sit up on my table for two
I was just waiting for you (waiting for you, waiting for you)
Don't know how I fell and don't know why, don't know why
And now I'll pick myself up one more time, one more time

You know I tried so long
Every time I thought I found it, I was wrong
I swear I must've spent a thousand nights
Looking for somebody who could hold me tight
Until I realized

Ah, ah, ah
I am the love of, the love of my life
Ah, ah, ah
I am the love of, the love of my life
Uh, uh, uh
I ain't got nobody else on my mind
Ah, ah, ah
I am the love of, the love of my life

I was just waiting for you, waiting for you, waiting for you
All my life changing for you, changing for you, changing for you
I didn't realize that it could be better and better than I ever knew
I was just waiting for you (waiting for you, waiting for you)
Don't know how I fell and don't know why, don't know why
And now I'll pick myself up one more time, one more time

You know I tried so long
Every time I thought I found it, I was wrong
I swear I must've spent a thousand nights
Looking for somebody who could hold me tight
Until I realized

Ah, ah, ah
I am the love of, the love of my life
Ah, ah, ah
I am the love of, the love of my life
Uh, uh, uh
I ain't got nobody else on my mind
Ah, ah, ah
I am the love of, the love of my life

Now I see loving me is enough
Now you see the real me, you're in love

I am the love of, the love of my life
Ah, ah, ah
I am the love of, the love of my life
Ah, ah, ah
Oh, I ain't got nobody else on my mind
Uh, uh, uh
I am the love of, the love of my life
Ah, ah, ah
I am the love of, the love of my life
