Written by Richard Marx

I've lived life in a single room
Hide my scars from the moon
I dream my dreams in the light
Rehearse the lines I already know
Basking in the TV's glow
I pray that tonight is the night

Ooh, there's gotta be more than this
The future hanging on a stranger's kiss
Could it be I'm not so alone?

Chorus:
I'm someone special
I'm just in disguise
I may not be perfect
In everyone's eyes
It may not be tomorrow
But I still believe
There's someone special
Waiting out there for me

I guess the joke hasn't hit me yet
'Cause I'm still waitin' on my Juliet
She must be held up somewhere
Ooh she'll be the air I breathe
She'll come for good and never want to leave
I'll love her only, I swear

People say there must be something wrong
For me to be all alone so long
And their words hit me like a stone

Chorus:
I'm someone special
I'm just in disguise
I may not be perfect
In everyone's eyes
It may not be tomorrow
But I still believe
There's someone special
Waiting out there for me

Lying in bed in a cold, cold sweat
Dreamin' 'bout women I'll never get
I won't always be sleepin' alone

Chorus:
I'm someone special
I'm just in disguise
I may not be perfect
In everyone's eyes
And it may not be tonight
But I still believe
There's someone special
Waiting out there for me

Yeah, there's someone special
Waiting out there for me
Waiting out there for me
She's waiting out there for me
For me
