I Knew You Were Waiting for Me Songtext
von George Michael & Aretha Franklin

Like a warrior that fights, and wins the battle
I know the taste of victory
Though I went through some nights consumed by the shadows
I was crippled emotionally, mmm

Somehow I made it through the heartache, yes i did, I escaped (uh huh)
I found my way out of the darkness, I kept my faith (I know you did)
Kept my faith

When the river was deep, I didn′t falter
When the mountain was high, I still believed
When the valley was low, it didn't stop me, no no
I knew you were waiting, I knew you were waiting for me, uh huh

With an endless desire
I, I kept on searching
Sure in time our eyes would meet
Like the bridge is on fire the hurt is over
One touch and you set me free


No, I don′t regret a single moment, no I don't
(I know you don't, looking back)
Uh, when I think of all those disappointments I just laugh
(I know you do)
I just laugh

When the river was deep, I didn′t falter
When the mountain was high, I still believed
When the valley was low, it didn′t stop me (oh)
I knew you were waiting (ah) I knew you were waiting for me

So we were drawn together through destiny (ooh boy) (ooh)
I know this love we share is meant to be (oh) (oh)
I knew you were waiting (woo ooh ah)
Knew you were waiting, (I knew you were waiting)
I knew you were waiting for me

(Oh I didn't falter) I didn′t falter, Lord
(I still believe) When the valley was low
(It didn't stop me) Nothing can stop me, no
(Knew you) No (were waiting) No, I
(Knew you were waiting for me)

(I didn′t falter) When the mountain was high
(I still believed) When the valley was low
(It didn't stop me) Heh no, it didn′t stop me, no
I knew you were waiting (for me)
I knew you were waiting for me (yeah)


Oh (I didn't falter) Oh yeah
(I still believed) Oh, I still believe
(It didn't stop me) Do you know it didn′t stop me (No)
(Knew you were waiting)
Someday
Someway
Someplace
Somehow
For me

(I didn′t falter) When the valley was low
(I still believed) I still believe
I believe, I believe
(It didn't stop me) Yeah, it couldn′t stop me
(Knew you were waiting) No way
Oh yeah (Knew you were waiting for me)
