She was a smart girl going thru life
she had a dream guy in back of her mind
She was waiting for the right one,
got confused about the right one.

When she goes to parties she looks from the start,
avoiding some people that don't look the part
She was waiting for the right one,
got confused about the right one.

She never opened her eyes to the beauty of what's inside
and she never was aware that the right one could be right there!

CHORUS Don't you know that love can hide in someone's eyes
can't you see that you've been looking
in the wrong place for the right one
all this time! (all this time)

She takes the subway going back home
She doesn't like people, she sits all alone.
She was waiting for the right one,
got confused about the right one.

She never wanted to know what would happen if she let go
she never wanted to see that the right one was just me!

(CHORUS)

Bridge: And how do you know you found the one
that would treat you right
all you need to do is look around,
and find the one that's looking at you!

You've been looking for the right one
in the wrong place, at the wrong time, all along!
Looking for the right one (2x)
