What I've Known for a Very Long Time

Oh what's it really matter Between you and me Cause I've been chasing it down A street of misery But now I've been waiting For you to recognize What I've known for a very long time Five long years ago When I saw you walk through the door I'd been searching for love That, oh, gave me more But now I've been waiting For you to recognize What I've known for a very long time I've run into trouble baby Time and time again It's in the wee, wee hours When you need your best friend Finally after all All the sleepless nights Find the one who makes you happy Oh she makes it so, so right Girl I'll be strong for you, baby When a good man is what you need No more chasing it down a street of misery Cause now I've been waiting For you to recognize What I've known for a very long time I've run into trouble baby Time and time again It's in the wee, wee hours When you need your best friend Finally after all All the sleepless nights You find the one who makes you happy Oh she makes it so, so right Girl I'll be strong for you, baby When a good man is what you need No more chasing it down a street of misery Cause now I've been waiting For you to recognize What I've known for a very long time
