The boys in Foreigner may regret using the number two on the cover art of “Waiting For A Girl Like You”. The song was stuck at #2 on the Hot 100 for a record-breaking ten consecutive weeks in late 1981 into early 1982, unable to oust Olivia Newton-John’s “Physical” for nine of them, and Hall & Oates' “I Can’t Go For That” for the tenth. The song also didn’t make it past #2 in Canada.

Mick Jones, who wrote the song with Lou Gramm, described “Waiting” as “…the kind of song that the pen does the writing, and you don’t even know where it came from”.
