Låttexter: Lionel Richie. How Long.

Every time I see you and I look into your eyes
Theres a feeling that I get
And its way down deep inside, girl
Ive been trying to hold on, but you say that youre not sure
I just hope you realize what my heart is going through

How long, must this feeling go on
How long, must I stand the pain and
How long, must this feeling go on
Waiting for the night
Waiting for the right time to come

I know all about the hurt and the problems in the past
I know why youre scared of love,
Cause you think it just wont last long
Well, Im here to tell you what Im saying is all true
There aint nobody else in life
That can take the place of you

How long, must this feeling go on
How long, must I stand the pain and
How long, must this feeling go on
Waiting for the night
Waiting for the right time to run

Why cant we just run away, and oh run
A place where we can be alone and nobody finds us, run
Can we both just run away, and oh run
Girl, I cant wait to have you

How long, must this feeling go on
How long, must I stand the pain and
How long, must this feeling go on
Waiting for the night
Waiting for the right time to come, to come
