How long do I have to wait for you honey
Before a girl like me can move on
Ooh baby tell me how long
Do you I have to wait for you honey
Before I can say that you're gone
Every hour seems like a day
And every day is like a year
And every week is an eternity
Well I get lonely baby when you're not here
Ooh baby tell me how long
Do you I have to wait for you honey
Before a girl like me can move on
Ooh baby tell me how long
Do you I have to wait for you honey
Before I can say that you're gone
Won't you let me know, yeah
I'm in an awful state, baby
You said you loved me so
But I just don't know how long I can wait
How long do you I have to wait for you honey
Before I can say that you're gone
(music)
I ax'd your mama; I ax'd your papa,
Your friends, your preacher and your boss
No one knows where you going to baby
Or if you're coming back to me
Or we're together or are we lost
Ooh baby, tell me how long
Do you I have to wait for you honey
Before a girl like me can move on
Ooh baby, tell me how long
Do you I have to wait for you honey
Before I can say that you're gone
Won't you let me know, yeah
I'm in an awful state, baby
You said you loved me so
Ooh baby, tell me how long
Do you I have to wait for you honey
Before I can say that you're gone
one
Won't you let me know, yeah
I'm in an awful state, baby
You said you loved me so
But I just don't know how l
ong I can wait
(music)
Oh baby, tell me how long
Do you I have to wait for you honey
Before a girl like me can move on
Baby how long
Do you I have to wait for you honey
Before I can say that you're gone, ahh

Before a girl like me can move on
Baby how long
