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 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 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.
