How long
Every time I see you and I look into your eyesThere's a feeling that I getAnd it's way down deep inside, girlI've been trying to hold on, but you say that you're not sureI just hope you realize what my heart is going through
How long, must this feeling go onHow long, must I stand the pain andHow long, must this feeling go onWaiting for the nightWaiting for the right time to come
I know all about the hurt and the problems in the pastI know why you're scared of love,'Cause you think it just won't last longWell, I'm here to tell you what I'm saying is all trueThere ain't nobody else in lifeThat can take the place of you
How long, must this feeling go onHow long, must I stand the pain andHow long, must this feeling go onWaiting for the nightWaiting for the right time to run
Why can't we just run away, and oh runA place where we can be alone and nobody finds us, runCan we both just run away, and oh runGirl, I can't wait to have you
How long, must this feeling go onHow long, must I stand the pain andHow long, must this feeling go onWaiting for the nightWaiting for the right time to come, to come
