How Long Do I Have To Wait?
How lo-o-ng do I have to wait for you, honey?
Before a girl like me can move on?
Ooh baby, tell me how lo-o-ng do I have to wait for you honey?
Before I can say that you're gone?

Every hour seems like a day
And every day is like a year
And every week is an eternity
Well, I get lonely, baby, when you're not here

Ooh baby, tell me how lo-o-ng do I have to wait for you, honey?
Before a girl like me can move on?
Ooh baby, tell me how lo-o-ng do I have to wait for you, honey?
Before I can say that you're gone?

Won't you let me know, yeah?
I'm in an awful state, baby
You said you loved me so
But I just don't know how long I can wait
How lo-o-ng do I have to wait for you, honey?
Before I can say that you're gone?

I asked your mama, I asked your papa
Your friends, your preacher and your boss
No one knows where you're going to, baby
Or if you're coming back to me
Or we're together or are we lost?

Ooh baby, tell me, how lo-o-ng do I have to wait for you, honey?
Before a girl like me can move on?
Ooh baby, tell me, how long do I have to wait for you, honey?
Before I can say that you're gone

Won't you let me know, yeah?
I'm in an awful state, baby
You said you loved me so
But I just don't know how long I can wa-a-ait

Oh, oh baby, tell me, how lo-o-ng do I have to wait for you, honey?
Before a girl like me can move on?
Baby, how lo-o-ng do I have to wait for you, honey?
Before I can say that you're gone? Ahh
How lo-o-ong do I have to wait for you, honey?
Before a girl like me can move on?
Baby, how lo-o-ong do I have to wait for you, honey?
Before I can say that you're gone? Yeah
How lo-o-ong, yeah, baby tell me, how long
