Original Broadway Cast of Rock Of Ages
Waiting For a Girl Like You
[LONNY, spoken]
Ah, the muses of love. Many a great lyric have called upon their siren song.
And now my boy Drew is feeling the magic too...

[DREW]
So long, I've been looking too hard
I’ve been waiting too long
Sometimes I don't know what I will find
I only know it's a matter of time
When you love someone, oh yeah, when you love someone

[SHERRIE]
It feels so right, so warm and true
I need to know if you feel it too

[DREW]
Maybe I’m wrong
Won't you tell me if I'm coming on too strong

[SHERRIE]
This heart of mine has been hurt before
This time I wanna be sure

[DREW]
I've been waiting for a girl like you (Ooh)
To come into my life (Ah-ooh)
I've been waiting for a girl like you (Girl like you)
Your loving will survive
SHERRIE
I've been waiting (I've been waiting)
For someone new (New)
To make me feel alive (Alive)

[DREW]
Yeah, waiting

[SHERRIE]
I've been waiting for a boy like you

[DREW]
For a girl like you

[BOTH]
To come into my life

[SHERRIE, spoken]
Drew, I’m actually kinda nervous.

[DREW, spoken]
Don’t worry, it's cool! I mean, look, we’re just a couple of friends, right?
Looking at stars, drinking wine coolers. No pressure.

[LONNY, spoken]
What?
Man, he's gonna kick himself later for that 'friend' crap.
Oh, the curse of the nice guy!
See, you think its the smart play; ease them in with friendship.
But the fact is, what they really want, what’s really going on in their heads?
[SHERRIE]
You're so good
When we make love it's understood
It's more than a touch or a word can say
Only in dreams could it be this way
When you love someone, yeah
Really love someone

[ENSEMBLE]
Ooh-ooh, ah-ah
Ooh-ooh, Ah-ah

[SHERRIE]
I've been waiting for a boy like you
To come into my life
Yeah, waiting (Waiting)
For someone new

[LONNY]
To make you feel alive
