I Knew You Were Waiting (For Me) [with George Michael]

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

Somehow, I made it through the heartache

Yes I did, I escaped

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

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

I knew you were waiting

I knew you were waiting for me

So we were drawn together through destiny (ooh, boy)

I know this love we shared was meant to be

I knew you were waiting

Knew you were waiting

I knew you were waiting

Knew you were waiting for me

I didn't falter, I didn't falter

I still believed

When the valley was low, it didn't stop me (nothing can stop me, no)

I knew you were waiting

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

No, it didn't stop me, no

I knew you were waiting

I knew you were waiting for me

I didn't falter, oh yeah

I still believed, oh I still believed

It didn't stop me (do you know it didn't stop me, no?)

I knew you were waiting, someday, some way, some way, somehow

For me

I didn't falter, when the valley was low

I still believed, and I still believed (I believe)
