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 its all right
 [bad word] 
It's been a long [bad word] down this road
and now I know what I've been waiting for
and like a lonely highway
I'm trying to get home, oohooh
Love's been a long [bad word] 

You can love for a lifetime
You could 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
 [bad word] 
It's been a long [bad word] down this road
And now I know what I've been searching for
Been a long, long highway
And now I see oohooh
Love's been a long time

Didn't know I was lost
Till you found me
Didn't know I was blind
But now I see
Can you whisper in my ear
Let me know its all right
 [bad word] 
It's been a long [bad word] down this road
And now I know what I've been searching for
Been a long, long highway
And now I see oohooh
Love's been a long time

Oh been a long time
Love's been a long [bad word]
