Everybody wants to be loved
Every once in a while
We all need someone to hold on to
Just like a helpless child
Can you whisper in my ear?
Let me know it's alright

It's been a long time coming down this road
And now I know what I've been waiting for
And like a lonely highway, I'm trying to get home
Ooh, love's been a long time coming

You can look for a lifetime
You can love for a day
You can think you've got everything
But everything is nothing when you throw it away
Yeah, then you look in my eyes
And I have it all once again

It's been a long time coming down this road
And now I know what I've been waiting for
Just like a lonely highway, I'm trying to get home
Ooh, love's been a long time coming

Didn't know I was lost till you found me, uh huh
Didn't know I was blind but now I see

Can you whisper in my ear?
Let me know it's alright

It's been a long time coming down this road
And now I know what I've been searching for
Been down a long, long highway and now I see
Ooh, love's been a long time

Ooh, been a long time
Love's been a long time coming
