He looks like a picture in a magazine
Cool and handsome and squeaky clean
He's got money and he's built for speed
He's what you want – but I'm what you need
I wanna be there when you grow tired of him
I wanna be there when his lovelight's turning dim
I wanna be there when you feel like movin' on
I wanna be there – I'm just hoping it won't be long
He'll forget you when he's had his thrill
Just remember I love you still
I only wanna get back next to you
And I'll be waiting when he gets through
I wanna be there when you grow tired of him
I wanna be there when his lovelight's turning dim
I wanna be there after he's long gone (after he's long gone)
I wanna be there to show my love is strong
The wonderful times we had were not so long ago
To be just a memory
Keepin' you satisfied is the only thing I know
With you is where I wanna be
I wanna be there when you grow tired of him
I wanna be there when his lovelight's turning dim
I wanna be there when you feel like movin' on (feel like movin' on)
I wanna be there – I’m just hoping it won't be long
I'm just offering something real
No fine wrapping – no special deal
You're just dangling on his string
Oh won't you try my lovin' – it's a real thing
I wanna be there when you grow tired of him
I wanna be there when his lovelight's turning dim
I wanna be there after he's long gone (after he's long gone)
I wanna be there – I’m just hoping it won't be long, won't be long
I wanna be there when you grow tired of him
I wanna be there when his lovelight's turning dim
I wanna be there when you feel like movin' on (feel like movin' on)
I wanna be there to show my love is strong
