It's been a long, a long time, haven't it It's been a long time, baby, a long time, haven't it Oh, but you're finally comin' around to lovin' me Because there's somethin' in your kissin' that used to be missin' And that look in your eyes, hey boy, it took me by surprise It's been a long, a long time, haven't it I've been waitin', hopin', prayin', and it finally happened Cause somethin' new has taken the place Of that casual smile you used to wear on your face You have a look of pride when I'm walkin' by your side And when someone looks at me, hey boy, you're full of jealousy It's been a long, a long time, haven't it I stayed around cause I knew you were unsure And I knew your love was somethin' worth waitin' for Cause if you hold me close, that's the time it really shows If I try to break away, ooh boy, you won't let me go It's been a long, a long time, haven't it And I'm so glad it finally happened Oh baby, I'm so glad And I've got to say That I'm so glad
