Ever since my memory
Began not long ago
I’ve waited here so patiently
For you to telephone
Now its true, I wait for you
To lead me out of here
Till that time, I sit and hide
Shaking in my den of fear
Waiting for you to rescue me
Be everything that I want you to be
You’ll sooth the savage in my soul
You’ll calm the fire when its out of control
Can't tell the right things from the wrong
I try to find out but it takes too long
I'm waiting for you, I'm waiting for you
I'm waiting for you, I'm waiting for you
I'm waiting for you to come to me
I read the news, I watch the tube
I watch it all night long
I try and tell the difference from
The right things and the wrong
Sometimes when I stare real hard
I think I see your face
Seems so real that I could swear
It jumps right out of the TV set
You’ll climbs the mountains
You’ll sail the sea
All of these things you would do for me
You’ll pad my wallet
You’ll scratch my back
You’ll defend me from every attack
You’ll put the commies in their place
You’ll rid disease from the whole human race
But when I wake up you’re not there
I haven’t found you yet and it’s not fair
I'm waiting for you, I'm waiting for you
I'm waiting for you, I'm waiting for you
I'm waiting for you to come to me
I'm waiting for you, I'm waiting for you
I'm waiting for you to come to me
I'm waiting for you
