New Birth - It's been a Long Time Lyrics

Been such a long time
Since I saw you
Tell me, girl
How long has it been
I'm so glad to see you
'Cause I really love you
You we're my only friend

You for me and me for you
Oh, listen, baby
You for me and me for you

It's been such a long time
Girl, I still love you
I guess I always will
But in my silent nights
I long to hold you tight
It's you I really need

You for me and me for you
Listen, baby
You for me and me for you
Yeah, yeah

Oh...oh...oh...

I've been missin' you, baby
Yes, I have
Here's what you got to do
You got to do for me
You got to understand me
I got to understand you
You got to hang in there
You got to hang on in there, baby
Understand me
And I will understand you
I need you, need you, need you
I need you, baby
Whenever I feel like this, baby
The only thing I can to you
Ooh, baby, ooh, baby, yeah
???'Cause it ain't no heart no more sometime???
Oh, Lord, ???
Oh...whoa...whoa...yeah, yeah, yeah
Ooh, baby, you know I love you
Oh...oh...
You've got to sit down and make up your mind to me, baby
Ooh, oh...oh...oh...yeah
You got to understand me, baby, and I'll understand you
I need you, I need you, you, you, you, baby
Hey, hey, let me say oh...ho...yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

(Hang on, hang on, hang on, it's been too long, ooh...ooh...ooh...)
(Hang on, hang on, hang on, it's been too long, ooh...ooh...ooh...)
(Hang on, hang on, hang on, it's been too long, ooh...ooh...ooh...)
(Hang on, hang on, hang on, it's been too long, ooh...ooh...ooh...)
(Hang on, hang on, hang on, it's been too long, ooh...ooh...ooh...)
