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 [bad word] 
 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 [bad word]  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 [bad word] 
 Why can't we [bad word] away, and [bad word]  place where we can be alone and nobody finds [bad word]  Can we both [bad word] away, and [bad word]  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 [bad word]  [bad word]
