It's been too long
I've been waiting patiently
To share your company, baby
You've been gone too long
(Even though) And even though we're still apart
You're in my heart
I thought we had meaning (Oh yeah, girl)
Thought my one love had been found (Here's another)
Here's another lonely evening (Another lonely evening)
Oh yeah, and you're nowhere around, baby
You said tonight that we would share our love
(We would share our love)
And now you say that something else came up
Tell me honestly what's on your mind
Does another lover occupy your time?
My heart disbelieves (I don't believe it)
So set my heart at ease (Oh, girl)
Let's get together this week, oh yeah
Girl, it's been too long
And though I miss you more each day
I just can't go on this way
You've been gone too long (You've been gone)
And now I'm making you aware (Making you aware)
That I will not be your spare
(So tell me what went wrong, oh baby)
Tell me what went wrong
Maybe what I'm asking for
You can't give me anymore
It's been too long (Yeah, yeah)
And the promises you made to me
You never seem to keep
We talk every other day (We talk)
And you say (And you say) that you will stop by
I'm waiting for you to stop by
When we plan on the phone (When we make plans)
You postpone (You postpone) and I'm alone tonight
Once again, I'm alone
Tonight, oh, pretty baby
I'm not trying to set the pace
Manipulate or dominate your life
I don't want to run your life
(But I) I just want you to understand
And make some plans to share some of your time
(To share some of your time)
It's been too long
It's been too long
Girl, I've been waiting here
Wishing that you were near
You've been gone too long, hey girl
You been gone too long (Too long)
It's been too long, yeah
Tell me what went wrong
Been too long, yeah
It's been too long
Been too long, girl
