Donny Hathaway
Seven Years
[Verse 1]
Seven years remember when
You became my loving friend
Never forget that wonderful day
Twas early spring, the first of May
Everybody was so alarmed
Though I never meant you no harm
I was just so in love with you
And I thought you loved me, too
Seven years now I find
It was just a waste of time

[Verse 2]
Oh, it's been so long
And I'm yet to take you home
You stand there, undecided
While your friends keep us divided
You're like a lost long freight
And no longer shall I wait
I find it isn't fair
When there's only one who'll care
Should have been gone away so long
But I'm still here hangin' on

[Break]
[Verse 3]
Seven years here an advice
And there's nothing yet precise
I got the girl I waited for
She's just a wife and nothing more
I hate the sound call of my name
What a shame who can I blame
I was just so in love with you
And I thought you loved me too
Seven years now I find
It was just a waste of time

[Outro]
Woo ooh ooh ooh ooh
Seven years, seven years
I cried a lotta tears
Having hard times, hard times
Seven years
