Which is the better Foreigner love song?... Waiting For A Girl Like You
or
I Don't Want To Live Without You
They're kind of similar, but I love them both. Foreigner and Journey were the kings of the power ballad during the 80s. "Get up off that grey line" | |

Yeah, but that's the pattern answer. IWTKWLI is a great ballad, too, but I prefer these two. "Get up off that grey line" | |

First, I like, "Waiting For a Girl Like You". Second, I don't consider, "I Want To Know What Love Is", a love song. I look at it more as a cry for help or even a prayer to a higher power, in search of an answer. I say this because of the circumstances in which it was written. The composer wrote this for his wife, when they were contemplating divorce several years earlier. I don't think it can be considered a love song, if he really does not know what it is...

WAITING FOR A GIRL LIKE YOU is a masterpiece and probably my fav ballad of all time. Just some serious heartfelt lyrics here. Perhaps the lyrics, today, are taken for granted, but this song is truly honest, not your typical sellout hair-metal ballad...
I WANNA KNOW WHAT LOVE IS is another masterpiece, just
Never liked I Don't Wanna Live Without You [Edited 11/9/10 5:35am]  | |

but I agree ^ that it's not a regular love song, it can be easily considered as a hymn or a prayer, 
pure "gospel meets arena rock" masterpiece 
, and Down On Love is kinda ok...

Great topic! Love the Foreigner.
Waiting For A Girl Like You is probably the best song they ever did.

NOT! I Want To Know What Love Is is more a gospel feel-good track than a "I love you and want to spend my life with you" type of song. "Get up off that grey line" | |
