So long, so long, so long
So long, so long, so long
So long, so long, so long
Ooh so long, so long, so long
It's been taking forever don't know where you are
You had it before i even had my heart
No use in looking i know you're what i want
I've been searching and searching can't find where you've been
Wish i could put my finger right on it
I can't describe it but i know this feelings real ooh
Tell me where to meet you
Do anything to see you
Anytime on night or day
I'll already know you when i see you
Kiss your hand and greet you
So won't you be on your way
Its like i already know you
Before i even met you
What took you so long babe
(what took you so long babe)
What took you so long babe
(what took you so long babe)
Its like already love you
Before i even met you
What took you so long babe
(what took you so long babe)
What took you so long babe
(what took you so long babe)
Years pass, days fly, waiting for you to come in and change my life
Knew it was you because if just felt so right ooh ooh
This energy you're giving me, you're giving me
Is so familiar, so baby take this moment to remember me
'cause i'll be gone till november
Tell me where to meet you
Do anything to see you
Anytime on night or day
I'll already know you when i see you
Kiss your hand and greet you
So won't you be on your way
Its like i already know you
Before i even met you
What took you so long babe
(what took you so long babe)
What took you so long babe
(what took you so long babe)
Its like already love you
Before i even met you
What took you so long babe
(what took you so long babe)
What took you so long babe
(what took you so long babe)
Seems like i waited all my life for you to get here
Feels like every day is valentine 365 a year
You're everything and so much more
And it's you i adore
And i hope & pray, you'll stay with me
Like a love of always known
Its like i already know you
Before i even met you
What took you so long babe
(what took you so long babe)
What took you so long babe
(what took you so long babe)
Its like already love you
Before i even met you
What took you so long babe
(what took you so long babe)
What took you so long babe
(what took you so long babe)
So long, so long, so long
I should apologize
For assuming i already knew you
There is something so familiar about you
Touch kiss and every part of your body
So my question is what took you so long
So long, so long, so long
So long, so long, so long
(what took you so long babe)
So long, so long, so long
So long, so long, so long
(what took you so long babe)
