I've Been Waiting for You
Guys Next Door Lyrics

Yeah girl
Addressing a female and expressing enthusiasm

I've been searching so long
Been looking for a specific thing for a long period of time

In this world
In the world, as we know it

Trying to find someone
Been searching for an individual

Who could be
Looking for someone who possesses a certain set of qualities

What my picture of love was to me
Looking for love in a particular way that aligns with one’s understanding of love

Then you came along
Finally found the person they were searching for

When I saw you
Upon sighting the person they've been searching for

I knew you were the one
Had an instant realization that the individual was the one they’ve been seeking

The love that I'd been
The love that they had been longing for

Dreaming of
The vision they had in their head about the emotion of love

'Cause I've been waiting for you
Been eagerly waiting for this individual

All my life
Their entire life up to now

For somebody who
Seeking an individual who possesses certain characteristics

Makes me feel the way I feel
Elicits a certain emotion within them

When I'm with you baby
When they are with the individual they are addressing

Have you been waiting too
Posing a rhetorical question about whether the individual they are addressing has also been waiting for them

'Cause I've been waiting for you
Reiterating the fact that they have been waiting a long time for the individual they are addressing

Oh girl
Addressing the individual in a loving way

I've been saving my love
Been holding back their feelings of love for this individual

All this time
Throughout this entire time period

'Cause I knew someday
Believed that one day they would find the right person

I would find
Thought that they would find the perfect individual

The one that I've loved
The person they’ve had strong romantic feelings for

For so long in my mind
Been thinking about this individual and longing for them

From the moment
From the very instance

That I looked in your eyes
When they first made eye contact with the person they are addressing

I saw the girl
Had an immediate realization that the person in front of them was the one they’ve been waiting for

I've loved all my life
Been in love with this individual for their entire life

Now that I found you
Having finally found the person they’ve been searching for

I just can't let you go
Feels an intense desire to keep this individual in their life

No no no no no
Emphasizing the strength of their feelings

Oh there's just one thing
Addressing the individual with something specific on their mind

I want you to know
Expressing a strong desire to share something important with the individual

Girl I love you so
Expressing love towards the person they are addressing
