[Verse 1]
'Til we kissed, I never knew that thrills that could be tasted
'Til we kissed, I never knew the years that I had wasted

[Chorus]
But now I know I was waiting, for you to come by
I was waiting, girl, won't you please tell me why
This took so long to begin
Darling, where have you been all my life?

[Verse 2]
Oh, don't you know that 'til we touched
I never knew a touch was worth revealing
'Til we touched, I never knew my heart was truly beating

[Chorus]
But now I know I was waiting, for you to come by
I was waiting, girl, won't you please tell me why
This took so long to begin
Darling, where have you been all my life?

[Post-Chorus]
Oh, darling, where have you been?
Where you been, where you been when I was feeling blue?
(Feeling blue)
Where have you been?
Where you been, where you been when I was needing you?
Oh, where you been? Where you been?
[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
But now I know I was waiting, for you to come by
I was waiting, girl, won't you please tell me why
This took so long to begin
Darling, where have you been all my life?

[Post-Chorus]
Oh, darling, where have you been?
Where you been, where you been when I was feeling blue?
(Feeling blue)
Where have you been?
Where you been, where you been when I was needing you?
Oh, where you been? Where you been?

[Outro]
Oh, where you been? Where you been?
Oh, where you been? Where you been?
