[Chorus]
It's been a long, a long time happenin'
It's been a long time, baby, a long time happenin'

[Verse 1]
Oh, but you're finally coming around to loving me
Because there's something in your kissing
That used to be missing
And that look in your eyes
Hey boy, it took me surprise

[Chorus]
A long, a long time happenin'
I've been waiting, hoping, praying
And it finally happened

[Verse 2]
'Cause something new has taken the place
Of that casual smile you used to wear on your face
You have a look of pride when I'm walking by your side
And when someone looks at me, hеy boy, you're full of jealousy

[Chorus]
It's been a long, a long time happеnin'

[Bridge]
I stayed around 'cause I knew you were unsure
And I knew your love was something worth waiting for
'Cause if you hold me close, that's the time it really shows
If I try to break away, ooh boy, you won't let me go
[Chorus]
It's been a long, long, a long time happenin'
And I'm so glad it finally happened
Oh baby, I'm so glad
And I've got to say that I'm so glad
