Yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, talk to me, can't you see
I'll help you work things out
Oh, don't wanna be your enemy
And I don't want to scream and shout
'Cos, baby, I believe in honesty
A man that's strong and true
I shouldn't have to say now, baby
That I believe in you
What took you so long?
What took you all night?
What took you forever to see I'm right?
You know, I treat you so good
I make you feel fine
You know, I'll never give it up this time
Oh, no, no
Oh, you touched my heart right from the start
You didn't know what to say
But, honey, I understand
When you take my hand everything's ok
'Cos, baby, I believe reality
It's never far away
I've had enough, so listen, baby
I've got something to say
What took you so long?
What took you all night?
What took you forever to see I'm right?
You know, I treat you so good
I make you feel fine
You know, I'll never give it up this time
What took you so long? (what took you so long?)
What took you all night? (what took you all night?)
What took you forever to see I'm right?
You know, I treat you so good (I treat you so good)
I make you feel fine. (I make you feel fine)
You know, I'll never give it up this time
Oh, no, no
Baby, I believe in honesty
And then be strong and true
I shouldn't have to say now, baby
That I believe in you
What took you so long?
What took you all night?
What took you forever to see I'm right?
You know, I treat you so good
I make you feel fine
You know, I'll never give it up this time
What took you so long? (what took you so long?)
What took you all night? (what took you all night?)
What took you forever to see I'm right?
You know, I treat you so good (I treat you so good)
I make you feel fine. (I make you feel fine)
You know, I'll never give it up this time
What took you so long? (what took you so long?)
What took you all night? (what took you all night?)
What took you forever to see I'm right?
You know, I treat you so good (I treat you so good)
I make you feel fine. (I make you feel fine)
You know, I'll never give it up this time
Oh, no, no
