I've been holding out so long, I've been sleeping all alone, Lord I miss you I've been hanging on the phone, I've been sleeping all alone, I won't kiss you Well I've been hunting in my sleep, been staring at my dreams, Lord I miss you I've been waiting on the call, been waiting on your call, while the phone rings, just in front of my face Oh baby, why you wait so long? Oh baby, why you wait so long? Come on, come on Well I've been walking Central Park, singing after dark, people think I'm crazy I've been stumbling on my feet, shuffling through the street, people ask me, what's the matter with you girl? Oh baby, why you wait so long? Oh baby, why you wait so long? Come on, come on Oh baby, why you wait so long? Oh baby, why you wait so long? I've been holding out so long, I've been sleeping all alone, I won't kiss you Oh baby, why you wait so long? Oh baby, why you wait so long?
