I need a man who'll take care of me
And make me feel safe and happy
I don't want no one traveling around
He needs to be right here with me

But you can't help who you love
And boy, it's always been you
So now I'm here all alone waiting for you

When I first met you I was just twenty-one
And barely knew my mind
All I'd been told is if you find a man
To make sure he's gentle and kind

But you can't help who you love
And boy it's always been you
So now I'm here all alone waiting for you

Days come and go and months pass me by
And seasons they leave me behind
Don't have a thought bout where I'll be
I'll be here 'till the end of all time

Cause you can't help who you love
And boy it's always been you
So now I'm here all I'm alone waiting for you
Waiting for you
Waiting for you
Waiting for you
