How Long

Every time I see you and I look into your eyes

There’s a feeling that I get

And it’s way down deep inside, girl

I’ve been trying to hold on, but you say that you’re not sure

I just hope you realize what my heart is going through

How long, must this feeling go on

How long, must I stand the pain and

How long, must this feeling go on

Waiting for the night

Waiting for the right time to come

I know all about the hurt and the problems in the past

I know why you’re scared of love,

‘Cause you think it just won’t last long

Well, I’m here to tell you what I’m saying is all true

There ain’t nobody else in life

That can take the place of you

How long, must this feeling go on

How long, must I stand the pain and

How long, must this feeling go on

Waiting for the night

Waiting for the right time to run

Why can’t we just run away, and oh run

A place where we can be alone and nobody finds us, run

Can we both just run away, and oh run

Girl, I can’t wait to have you

How long, must this feeling go on

How long, must I stand the pain and

How long, must this feeling go on

Waiting for the night

Waiting for the right time to come, to come.
