It's been a long, long time
It's been a long, long time
It's been a long, long time
Since I wanted to hold, hold you close
And I long just to
(Hold you close, hold you close)
It's been a long, long time
And, oh, oh
It's been a long, long time
Since I've wanted to
Kiss your sweet lips
Yes, I long just to
(Kiss you once, kiss you twice)
It's been a long, long time, oh, yeah
You know I (been all over the world)
I been all over this world
(Searching for someone like you)
Searching for someone like you
(Much to my surprise) ohh
You came, you came into my view
And, oh, oh, oh
It's been a long, long time
Since I've wanted to hold, hold you close
And I long just to
(Hold you close, hold you close)
It's been a long, long time
Since I (held you close, held you close)
Mmm, I wanna (kiss you once, kiss you twice)
It's been a long since I
(Held you close, held you close)
