Every time I see you, and I look into your eyes There's a feeling that I get, and it's way down deep inside, girl I've been trying to hold on, but you say that you're 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 you're scared of love, cause you think it just won't last long Well, I'm here to tell you what I'm saying is all true There ain't 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 can't we just run away and I'll run A place where we can be alone and nobody finds us to run Can't we both just run away and I'll run Girl, I can't 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 *
