[Verse 1]
He wasn't looking for a pretty face
She wasn't searching for the latest style
He didn't want someone who walked straight off the TV
She needed someone with an interior smile

[Verse 2]
She wasn't looking for a cuddle in the back seat
He wasn't looking for a five-minute thrill
She wasn't thinking of tomorrow or of next week
This vacancy he meant to permanently fill

[Chorus]
I need an everlasting love
I need a friend and a lover divine
An everlasting precious love
Wait for it, wait for it, give it some time

[Verse 3]
Back in the world of disposable emotion
In the climate of temporary dreams
He wasn't looking for a notch on his bedpost
A love to push, pull and burst at the seams

[Chorus]
I need an everlasting love
I need a friend and a lover divine
An everlasting precious love
Wait for it, wait for it, give it some time

[Bridge]
Is this love worth waiting for?
Something special, something pure

[Coda]
I need an everlasting love
I need a friend and a lover divine
An everlasting precious love
Wait for it, wait for it, give it some time
Wait for it, wait for it, give it some time

Is this love worth waiting for?
Bitterness will die for sure
Something special, something pure
Is this love worth waiting for?

Is this love worth waiting for?
(I need an everlasting love)
Bitterness will die for sure
Something special, something pure
(I need a friend and a lover divine)
Is this love worth waiting for?

I need an everlasting love
I need a friend and a lover divine
An everlasting precious love
Wait for it, wait for it, give it some time

I need an everlasting love
(I need an everlasting love)
I need a friend and a lover divine
(I need a friend and a lover divine)
An everlasting precious love
(An everlasting precious love)
Wait for it, wait for it, give it some time
(Wait for it, wait for it, give it some time)

I need an everlasting love
(I need an everlasting love)
I need a friend and a lover divine
(I need a friend and a lover divine)
An everlasting precious love
(An everlasting precious love)
Wait for it, wait for it, give it some time
(Wait for it, wait for it, give it some time)

I need an everlasting love
I need a friend and a lover divine
