(Mmm, yeah)
Standing in the silence, waiting for the light
She walks through the house as the shadows grow tall
Pictures of her babies hanging there on the wall
They’re the pride of her world, the breath in her lungs
But the song in her heart remains forever unsung
She’s a queen in her own right, holding the fort
But she’s tired of the battle, she’s tired of the sport
Yeah, she’s looking for a man who can handle the weight
To walk by her side and to challenge her fate
She’s a beautiful lady with a heart made of gold
Waiting for a story that’s waiting to be told
Who’s gonna sweep her right off of her feet?
Make the bitter taste of the lonely nights sweet
Oh, she’s waiting for a love that is honest and true
Yeah, baby, she’s still looking for you
She doesn’t want the games or the hollow parade
She’s seen enough nights where the promises fade
She wants a companion, a hand she can hold
Someone to keep her heart warm in the cold
She’s got grace in her spirit and fire in her eyes
Looking for a king beneath these velvet skies
I need you to listen, I need you to see
Exactly the kind of woman she’s meant to be
She’s a beautiful lady with a heart made of gold
Waiting for a story that’s waiting to be told
Who’s gonna sweep her right off of her feet?
Make the bitter taste of the lonely nights sweet
Oh, she’s waiting for a love that is honest and true
Yeah, baby, she’s still looking for you
It’s not just a dream, it’s a standard she keeps
Watching her children while the whole city sleeps
She’s built a kingdom from the tears that she cried
Now she just wants a partner, nowhere to hide
(Come here, let me show you the way)
So if you’ve got the strength and you’ve got the soul
To help her feel complete and to help her feel whole
Step out of the dark and into her light
Make everything finally feel so right
She’s a lady, my baby, she’s worth every fight
Let’s make this the end of the lonely night
She’s a beautiful lady with a heart made of gold
Waiting for a story that’s waiting to be told
Who’s gonna sweep her right off of her feet?
Make the bitter taste of the lonely nights sweet
Oh, she’s waiting for a love that is honest and true
Yeah, baby, she’s still looking for you
Yeah, she’s still looking for you
Just a good man to call her own
No more lonely, no more on her own
Mmm, yeah, come home to her
(Oh, baby)
