Lyrics – Eric Clapton – She’s Waiting

Written by Eric Clapton and longtime collaborator Peter Robinson, the song’s lyrics tell a story of a woman stuck in a toxic relationship, longing for something better. She’s Waiting is the opening track of his 1985 album Behind the Sun.

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
