[Verse 1]
When I touch your hand don't you understand?
I've been wantin' you so long
And how long can we wait? Girl, it seems so late
I've been wantin' you so long

[Chorus]
Girl, it seems like years
Now, I can't hide my tears (So long)

[Verse 2]
When I sleep I find that I can't sleep 'cause you're on my mind
I've been wantin' you so long
I wake up and then, I think of you once again
I've been wantin' you so long

[Chorus]
Girl, how long can this go on?
You know I can't make it on my own (So long)

[Outro]
I don't think you understand, girl, the world's an awful lonely place today
And a man can't make it by himself, he needs a sweet woman like you
Someone to, to hold his hand and touch his face, be waitin' there at night
And when he's walkin' down the long, lonely streets
He knows he's gonna walk through that door and find his woman there
And a warm fire and warm bed, and he's gonna grab her in his arms
He's gonna hold her, he's gonna love her
He's gonna love her, gonna love her so hard, so hard, so hard, so hard
Girl, that's what the world needs is love, yeah, love, love
Love, girl, love, don't you know?
I need and you need, we all need love, love, love, love, love, love
Love, girl, love, love, love
