[Interlude]
Mm, I've been waiting for someone like you (Someone like you)
Baby, this time, please don't be too good to be true
I've been waiting for someone like you (Someone like you)
You, you, you
I've been waiting for someone like you (Someone like you)
Baby, this time, please don't be too good to be true
I've been waiting for someone like you
You, you, you
You, oh (You, you, you)
You, you, you, baby
