Aretha Franklin
How Long I’ve Been Waiting
[Verse 1]
My darling, ooh darling
How long I've been waiting for you
Need your touch
Love me? How much?
Just trust me
We both knew this would be

[Chorus]
Darling, oh darling
Darling, you are first
Your touching, oh I'm blushing
You're the water that quenches my thirst

[Verse 2]
I felt you near, and now you're here
Kissed from above
Darling, this is our love
My open arms
I'm waiting here to be held close
Let go of all of your fears

[Chorus]
My darling, ooh darling
Honey, you are first
Your touching, oh I'm blushing
You're the water that quenches my thirst
[Verse 3]
I know who you are
I understand
I love what I see
A prince and king of a man
My open arms
Darling, if you're mine, I am yours
My darling, ooh darling
How long I've waited for you
I need your touch
Love me? How much?
Just trust me
We both knew that this would be

[Outro]
We're holding on
Darling, be strong
A mountain climb
I know it's rocky sometimes
An equal love we hold so dear
It's real, my love, oh, I wish you were here
My darling, ooh darling
You are, you are worth waiting for
With every taste I want more
For surely my life's sweet
This is no trick, ooh, I am your treat
Yeah, yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah
Ooh, I am your treat
Love you deeply, so completely
Stop risking everything, baby, damn
You don't have to, it's been me and you
You don't realize you are and I am
You are my life
Darling, darling, oh darling
I'm so glad you're here
