The official music video for the song was directed by Andy Morahan.[15] It features Lauper and her tour band playing informal gigs in public locations in London, including Trafalgar Square, Leicester Square (with a clear shot of the poster for A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge being visible at the Odeon), Covent Garden, and Westminster Bridge / The Queen's Walk, where the London Eye is currently located, 13 years before its opening.
Here I am Just like I said I would be I'm your friend Just like you think it should be Did you think I would stand here and lie? While our moment was passing us by Oh, while I'm here Waiting for your change of heart It just takes a beat to turn it around Yes, I'm waiting for your change of heart At the edge of my seat, please, turn it around (turn it around) Days go by Leaving me with a hunger I could fly Back to when we were younger When adventures like cars, we would ride And the years lied ahead still untried While I stand here Waiting for your change of heart It just takes a beat to turn it around Yes, I'm waiting for your change of heart At the edge of my seat, please turn it around Turn it around, 'round, around, yeah Turn it around, 'round, around Turn it, turn it, turn it around Blind leading blind Never feel the laughter Search through time Nothing reveals the answer If it's truth that you're looking to find It is nowhere outside of your mind While I bide my time Waiting for your change of heart It just takes a beat to turn it around Yes, I'm waiting for your change of heart At the edge of my seat, please, turn it around Yes, I'm waiting for your change of heart It just takes a beat to turn it around Yes, I'm waiting for your change of heart At the edge of my seat, please, turn it around Turn it around, around, around, yeah Turn it around, around, around Turn it, turn it, turn it around, 'round, around Turn it, turn it, turn it around And I'm waiting for your change of heart Waiting for your change of heart
