Well, it′s been a longtime, baby
Honey, since you were loving me
I said it's been a longtime, baby
Honey, since you were loving me
I been alone ever since now, baby
Since the day you set me free
And when I saw you yesterday, baby
You know I tried to be so cool
Oh, when I saw you yesterday, baby
You know you tried to be so cool
But you know all the time I knew now, baby
I knew I′d been a fool
I was yours for just a while
But I still love you so
Yes I was yours for just a while, baby
But I still love you so
You know if I only had a second chance, baby
I would never, never let you go
I would never let you go, baby
Yes it's my time
It's going to be your time after awhile
Yes it is, baby
It′s your time, baby
But it′s going to be my time after a while
Yes, I want you to know
I ain't no little-bitty boy
And I ain′t no child
You know I ain't your child, baby
