Oh what’s it really matter
Between you and me
Cause I’ve been chasing it down
A street of misery
But now I’ve been waiting
For you to recognize
What I’ve known for a very long time
Five long years ago
When I saw you walk through the door
I’d been searching for love
That, oh, gave me more
But now I’ve been waiting
For you to recognize
What I’ve known for a very long time
I’ve run into trouble baby
Time and time again
It’s in the wee, wee hours
When you need your best friend
Finally after all
All the sleepless nights
Find the one who makes you happy
Oh she makes it so, so right
Girl I’ll be strong for you, baby
When a good man is what you need
No more chasing it down a street of misery
Cause now I’ve been waiting
For you to recognize
What I’ve known for a very long time
I’ve run into trouble baby
Time and time again
It’s in the wee, wee hours
When you need your best friend
Finally after all
All the sleepless nights
You find the one who makes you happy
Oh she makes it so, so right
Girl I’ll be strong for you, baby
When a good man is what you need
No more chasing it down a street of misery
Cause now I’ve been waiting
For you to recognize
What I’ve known for a very long time
