I'll Be Waiting
Lenny Kravitz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
He took your soul
You're hurt inside
'Cause there's a hole
You need some time
To be alone
Then you will find
What you've always known
I'm the one who really loves you, baby
I've been knocking at your door
As long as I'm living, I'll be waiting
As long as I'm breathing, I'll be there
Whenever you call me, I'll be waiting
Whenever you need me, I'll be there
I've seen you cry
Into the night
I feel your pain
Can I make it right
I realized there's no end in sight
Yet still I'll wait
For you to see the light
I'm the one who really loves you baby
I can't take it anymore
As long as I'm living, I'll be waiting
As long as I'm breathing, I'll be there
Whenever you call me, I'll be waiting
Whenever you need me, I'll be there
You are my only one I've ever known
That makes me feel this way
Couldn't on my own
I want to be with you until we're old
You got the love you need right in front of you
Please come home
As long as I'm living, I'll be waiting
As long as I'm breathing, I'll be there
Whenever you call me, I'll be waiting
Whenever you need me, I'll be there
As long as I'm living, I'll be waiting
As long as I'm breathing, I'll be there
Whenever you call me, I'll be waiting
Whenever you need me, I'll be there

I'm thinking of one that COULD have been great, if he had wanted it. His loss...cause I only waited 4 years. Now I'm crazy about a real one crazy for me too, and neither one of us is waiting!
