英／美搖滾樂團［外國人］──軟式搖滾抒情曲──［Waiting for a Girl Like You／等候像妳的女孩］

So long, Ive been looking too hard
Ive been waiting too long
Sometimes I dont know what I will find
I only know its a matter of time

When you love someone
When you love someone
It feels so right, so warm and true
I need to know if you feel it too
Maybe Im wrong
Wont you tell me if Im coming on too strong?
This heart of mine has been hurt before
This time I want to be sure

Ive been waiting for a girl like you to come into my life
Ive been waiting for a girl like you, youre a love that will survive
Ive been waiting for someone new to make me feel alive
Yeah, waiting for a girl like you to come into my life

Youre so good
When we make love its understood
Its more than a touch or a word wed say
Only in dreams could it be this way

When you love someone
Yeah, I really love someone
Now, I know its right
From the moment I wake up til deep in the night
Theres nowhere on earth that Id rather be than holding you tenderly

Ive been waiting for a girl like you to come into my life
Ive been waiting for a girl like you, youre a love that will survive
Ive been waiting for someone new to make me feel alive
Yeah, waiting for a girl like you to come into my life

Ive been waiting, waiting for you, ooh
Ooh, Ive been waiting
(Waiting) Ive been waiting, yeah
(Ive been waiting for a girl like you, Ive been waiting)
Wont you come into my life?
Ah

 

１９８１年７月，英／美搖滾樂團外國人（Foreigner）推出第四張大碟［４］（Atlantic發行）

由南非Robert John "Mutt" Lange, Mick Jones製作, 樂評良好.

Hipgnosis藝術工作室被要求根據原標題設計封面，

他們開創一個躺在床上的年輕人的黑白圖像，一副雙筒望遠鏡懸在空中。

被樂團拒絕，因為認為“太同性戀”。

後來改由Bob Defrin 設計，以一位老式電影片頭為藍本。

Hipgnosis 仍在設計唱片標名。
