Original version
Background and writing
"Right Here Waiting" was the second single from Repeat Offender, after "Satisfied". Marx wrote the song on the road as a love letter to his wife, actress Cynthia Rhodes, who was in South Africa shooting for a film. The track was arranged by Marx with Jeffery (C.J.) Vanston to feature none of the heavy drums and synth popular at the time, with Marx's vocal accompanied only by classical guitar (by Bruce Gaitsch) and keyboards (by Vanston). It is one of Marx's most frequently covered compositions.
Delilah (/dɪˈlaɪlə/; Hebrew:דלילהDəlilah, meaning "[She who] weakened") is a character in the Hebrew bible Book of Judges, where she is the "woman in the valley of Sorek" whom Samson loved, and who was his downfall. Her figure, one of several dangerous temptresses in the Hebrew Bible, has become emblematic: "Samson loved Delilah, she betrayed him, and, what is worse, she did it for money," Madlyn Kahr begins her study of the Delilah motif in European painting.
The story of Samson in Judges 13–16 portrays a man who was given great strength by God but who ultimately loses his strength when Delilah allows the Philistines to shave his hair during his slumber (Judges 16:19). Samson was born into an Israelite family, the son of Manoah and his wife who is never named. Both are visited by the Angel of the Lord and told that their child will be a Nazirite from birth.
Biblical narrative
Delilah was approached by the lords of the Philistines, to discover the secret of Samson's strength, "and we will give thee, every one of us, eleven hundred pieces of silver." Three times she asked Samson for the secret of his strength, and all three times he gave her a false answer. The first time, he told her, "If they bind me with seven green withes that were never dried, then shall I be weak, and be as another man." Then he told her, "If they bind me fast with new ropes that never were occupied, then shall I be weak, and be as another man." The third time, he told her, "If thou weavest the seven locks of my head with the web...." On the fourth occasion, he gave her the true reason: that he did not cut his hair in fulfillment of a vow to God; and Delilah, when Samson was asleep on her knees, called up her man to shave off the seven locks from his head, then betrayed him to his enemies: "The Philistines took him, and put out his eyes, and brought him down to Gaza, and bound him with fetters of brass; and he did grind in the prison house."
Yes, Virginia... is the second studio album by American dark cabaret band The Dresden Dolls, released in April 2006. The album was recorded in September 2005, with some extra vocal work and the mixing done the following November.
It is named after a reply to a letter run in the New York Sun in 1897 about the existence of Santa Claus (see "Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus"). The first single from the album was "Sing". The album made its debut at number 42 on the US Billboard 200, selling 19,047 units in the first week. Other songs recorded during the studio session include "The Kill", "Boston", and "The Gardener", which were released on the No, Virginia... compilation in May 2008.

Lyrics below:
If you can find the time
To give your love to me
I will wait for you
If that's all you need
If you can find the time
If ever you're free
Just drop me a line
And tell me where you'll be
I'll be right here
If you can find the time
Just be sincere
If you can find the time
I'll wait for you
But if you can't find the time
Then cut me loose
Cause I don't have the time
And I don't have the patience
What do you take me for?
Why am I still waiting?
Cause while you decide.
I'm stuck here suffocating.
Cause if you can't find the time
My bleeding heart won't make it
My bleeding heart won't make it
If you can find the time
To give your love to me
Just drop me a line
And tell me where you'll be
I'll be right here
If you can find the time
Just be sincere
Cause I don't have the time
And I don't have the patience
What do you take me for?
Why am I still waiting?
Cause while you decide.
I'm stuck here suffocating.
Cause if you can't find the time
My bleeding heart won't make it
My bleeding heart won't make it
My bleeding heart won't make it
I'll be right here
If you can find the time
Just be sincere
If you can find the time
I'll wait for you
But if you can't find the time
Then cut me loose
Cause I don't have the time
And I don't have the patience
What do you take me for?
Why am I still waiting?
Cause while you decide.
I'm stuck here suffocating.
Cause if you can't find the time
My bleeding heart won't make it
My bleeding heart won't make it
My bleeding heart won't make it
Cause I don't have the time
Cause I don't have the time
My bleeding heart won't make it

Go, go back. Bet you didn't think I could do it, come on. Got my feet back on the ground, look for something new. There's been too much goin' down, I don't know what to do. They say that what you never had you never miss, So tell me why I never knew a love like this. Right here (nothing else matters) Waiting (things are getting better) You're the (only thing that matters) One thing (I'm never givin' up) Should have seen it from the start, that you were always there. Ain't no tearing us apart, I can't believe you're here. They say that what you never had you never miss, So tell me why I never knew a love like this. Right here (nothing else matters) Waiting (things are getting better) You're the (only thing that matters) One thing (I'm never givin' up) I'm needing in my life, It's taken time for me to realise. How come I never saw you, Standing right before my eyes. Right here waiting. Right here baby, Right here baby Right here waiting. Right here baby, Right here baby They say that what you never had you never miss, So tell me why I never knew a love like this. Right here (nothing else matters) Waiting (things are getting better) You're the (only thing that matters) One thing (I'm never givin'up) I'm needing in my life, It's taken time for me to realise.
