How do I tell you I've done it all
I've drowned all my senses
And left a gaping hole
And I've shaken that skeleton
A hundred times before
And though he's dead and gone
He's still coming back for more

Chorus
Now I'm holding out for something better
I'm holding out for something good and true
I'm waiting for you
Waiting in vain for you
Waiting for you
You're not gonna change
If I ask you to

How do I show you I need you now
Modern philosophy show me how
Well I found on my knees
A spiritual psychology
That gives me strength to wait
Strong and faithfully

Chorus

Oh I've got so much to say
So many reasons kept at bay
But my ceilings gonna break away

(Here we go)
Won't you hold out for something better
Hold out for somethign good and true
Cause I'm
Waiting for you
Waiting for you, oh
Waiting for you
And you're not gonna change if I ask you to
Oh
