Everlasting Love Howard Jones

[Verse 1]
He wasn't looking for a pretty face
She wasn't searching for the latest style
He didn't want someone who walked straight off the TV
She needed someone with an interior smile

[Verse 2]
She wasn't looking for a cuddle in the back seat
He wasn't looking for a five-minute thrill
She wasn't thinking of tomorrow or of next week
This vacancy he meant to permanently fill

[Chorus]
I need an everlasting love
I need a friend and a lover divine
An everlasting precious love
Wait for it, wait for it, give it some time

[Verse 3]
Back in the world of disposable emotion
In the climate of temporary dreams
He wasn't looking for a notch on his bedpost
A love to push, pull and burst at the seams

[Chorus]
I need an everlasting love
I need a friend and a lover divine
An everlasting precious love
Wait for it, wait for it, give it some time
