Everybody wants to be loved
every once in a while
we all need someone to hold on to
just like a helpless child
yeah 
can you whisper in my ear
let me know it's alright
it's been a long [bad word] 
down this road
and now i know
what i've been waiting for
and like a lonley highway
i'm trying to get home
ooo loves been a long [bad word] 
you can look for a lifetime
you can love for a day
you can think you 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 [bad word] 
down this road
and now i know
what i've been waiting for
just like a lonley highway
i'm trying to get home
ooo loves been a long [bad word] 
didn't know i was lost 
til 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 [bad word] 
down this road
and now i know
what i've been searching for
oh been a long long highway and
now i see
ooo loves been a long time 
ooo been a long time
loves been a long [bad word]
