Écrite par Eric Clapton et son collaborateur de longue date Peter Robinson, les paroles de la chanson racontent l’histoire d’une femme coincée dans une relation toxique, aspirant à quelque chose de mieux. She’s Waiting est le morceau d’ouverture de son album Behind the Sun de 1985.
She is waiting for another love
She is waiting for another love
She has been waiting for another love
Someone that she can show into her heart
And when she finally finds a stronger love
Your whole world is going to fall apart
She is waiting for another love
She is waiting for another love
You’ve been abusing her for far too long
Think you’re a king, she’s your pawn
Get ready now, ’cause pretty soon
She will be gone and you will be on your own
She is waiting for another love
She is waiting for another love
I see the hunger burning in her eye
Any fool could see there is something wrong
You keep pretending not to care
But I will hear you sing a different song
She is waiting for another love
She is waiting for another love
Waiting for another lover
Hoping for the time that she will find another
