Baby, I know that you've been waiting patiently
For a man to give you all that you need
And love you like he should
Stickin' to your guns
Lookin' for the right one
Just somebody who treats you good
It took me a while, but I got here
As fast as I could

I ran full speed ahead
Without stoppin' to rest
No knowin' where I was headed to
Now that I'm here
It's perfectly clear
That I was makin' my way to you
I can't believe how long it took
But I got here as fast as I could

I've ended up on at least a hundred dead-end roads
Where my heart and I just wound up broke
Lost and misunderstood
I tried [bad word] 
Findin' [bad word] love
It didn't pan out like I though it would
It took me some time, but I got here
As fast as I could

I ran full speed ahead
Without stoppin' to rest
No knowin' where I was headed to
Now that I'm here
It's perfectly clear
That I was makin' my way to you
I can't believe how long it took
But I got here as fast as I could

I ran full speed ahead
Without stoppin' to rest
No knowin' where I was headed to
Now that I'm here
It's perfectly clear
That I was makin' my way to you
I can't believe how long it took
But I got here as fast as I could

Yeah, I got here as fast as I could
