You tell me you are through with him
You'll soon be free just to be with me
So I'll stay by the phone

I'm waiting every night at home
Watching TV shows and honey
Heaven knows, I'm always alone

Though you never call me, I keep on loving you
Hoping that if I do, you're gonna love me too
And I won't have to wait too long

But how long is too long?
I've got to know, you're making me lose my mind
How long is too long?
'Cause baby, I've been waiting a long, long time

How long for so long?
Hoping everything will turn out okay, so tell me
How long is too long?
To sit around and wait till you come my way

I see you walking around with him
Holding hands and making plans
You're never apart

I see the way you look at him
When you're in a crowd, I know it makes him proud
While it's breaking my heart

And all the time you tell me
I keep on loving you
And if I do, you're gonna love me too
And I won't have to wait too long

But how long is too long?
Got to know, you're making me lose my mind
How long is too long?
'Cause baby, I've been waiting a long, long time

How long for so long?
Hoping everything will turn out okay, so tell me
How long is too long?
To sit around and wait till you come my way

How long, how long is too long?
How long? How long?

How long is too long?
I've got to know, you're making me lose my mind
How long is too long?
'Cause baby, I've been waiting a long, long time

How long for so long?
Hoping everything will turn out okay, so tell me
How long is too long?
To sit around and wait till you come my way

How long is too long?
I've got to know, you're making me lose my mind
How long is too long?
