How Long?

So many time with you and I
Thought it was right, but I was wrong
It's true
But I wouldn't feel the way I do
Without a sense of something real
For you
And it's all about a good thing
So I don't mind holding on
But how long
Are you gonna make me wait
And how long
Are you gonna hesitate
Cause l love the way we carry it on
But baby how long
You know the way they always say
Don't make it never, it's better late
Well that's true
But tell me why, my cautious angel
Must you put it in my face
Like you do
And it's all about a good thing
So I don't mind holding on
But how long
Are you gonna make me wait
And how long
Are you gonna hesitate
Cause l love the way we carry it on
But baby i don't ever wanna make it feel too rush
Make it feel like love wouldn't be enough
But that's just another don't mean much
Like a high school crush, make you wanna run
Can't you see the way i need you crazy
And i want you in my arms every night of my life
So tell me how long
Are you gonna make me wait
And how long
Are you gonna hesitate
Cause l love the way we carry it on
But baby how long
How long
How long
How long
How long
How long
Tell me how long
