"How Long" lyrics

You say "Girl, never let it show
I got to let you know the way I feel about you
Not to leave me, believe me
I need a lover in my life"

How long for love?
How strong is love?
And you say you know it's true
Whoa it's true, the way I feel about you

How long must I wait?
How long will it take?
For love to come my way
I'm standing alone
No one to call my own
How long must I wait?

And you say "Girl, please don't shut me out
Because I know what love's about
The things we shared together
Please believe me, believe me
I need your lovin' all the time"

How long for love?
How strong is love?
And you say you know it's true
Whoa it's true, the way I feel about you

How long must I wait?
How long will it take?
For love to come my way
I'm standing alone
No one to call my own
How long must I wait?

You say "Girl, the way you make me feel
I know that love is real
And time could make us stronger
And you'll be lovin' only me
And my love will make you see
You'll understand that's all I need"

Gonna take a little time
Before I say you're mine
Walkin' on the street
Steppin' out maybe
Walkin' out the door
I cannot take no more
I'll make it on my own
I'm not afraid to be alone
Strong enough for me (Strong enough)
Stand and let me see
Take a chance on love (Strong enough, I'm strong enough)
You're the one I'm dreamin' of

How long must I wait?
How long will it take?
For love to come my way
I'm standing alone
No one to call my own
How long must I wait?

How long must I wait? (Strong enough)
How long will it take? (Strong enough, I'm strong enough)
How long must I wait?

I'm standing alone (Strong enough)
No one to call my own (Strong enough, I'm strong enough)
How long must I wait?

Yeah, ooh yeah
Yeah, ooh yeah
Ooh yeah, ooh yeah
