"What I've Been Looking For" is third 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.

Background[]

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. The reprised version features Kelsi on piano and Troy and Gabriella singing. Both the versions of the song is available on soundtrack Cassette and Compact Disc.

Lyrics[]

[Verse 1: Ryan, with Sharpay]
It's hard to believe that I couldn't see
You were always there beside me
Thought I was alone, with no one to hold
But you were always right beside me

[Pre-Chorus: Sharpay, with Ryan]
This feeling's like no other
I want you to know

[Chorus: Ryan & Sharpay]
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 lookin' for

[Verse 2: Sharpay, Ryan & Both]
So good to be seen, so good to be heard
Don't have to say a word
For so long I was lost, so good to be found
I'm lovin' havin' you around

[Pre-Chorus: Ryan, with Sharpay]
This feeling's like no other
I want you to know

[Chorus: Ryan & Sharpay]
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 lookin' for

[Outro: Ryan & Sharpay]
Do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do-do
Woah-oh-oh-oh
Do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do-do
Woah-oh-oh-oh
