What I've Been Looking For



"What I've Been Looking For" is 3rd song heard in the movie High School Musical and on the movie soundtrack. It's also the song that Sharpay and Ryan sing for their audition for the musical "Twinkle Towne". The song was originally intended to be slower, but Sharpay and Ryan made it faster and added Broadway type choreography. This song is about never knowing what is right there next to you.

Lyrics
Ryan:

It's hard to believe

That I couldn't see

Ryan and Sharpay:

You were always there beside me

Thought I was alone

With no one to hold

But you were always right beside me

Sharpay:

This feeling's like no other

Ryan and Sharpay:

I want you to know

I've never had someone

That knows me like you do

The way you do

I've never had someone

As good for me as you

No one like you

So lonely before

I finally found

What I've been looking for

Sharpay:

So good to be seen

So good to be heard

Ryan and Sharpay:

Don't have to say a word

Ryan:

For so long I was lost

So good to be found

Ryan and Sharpay:

I'm loving having you around

Ryan:

This feeling's like no other

Ryan and Sharpay:

I want you to know

That I've never had someone

That knows me like you do

The way you do

I've never had someone

As good for me as you

No one like you

So lonely before

I finally found

What I've been looking for

Do-do-do

Doot-do-do-do-doot-do

Oh-woah-oh-oh-ohoh

Doot-do-do-do

Doot-do-do-do-doot-do

Oh-woah-oh-oh-ohoh
