It's Been A Long Time

(album: Don't Give Up Your Day Job - 1987)

I'm walking alone on a hot summer's night
Looking for a little love
Got plenty of girls that make me feel alright
But you're the one I'm thinking of
Got some money in my pocket, got the wind at my back
Nothing's gonna stop me now
It was your love that put me on the right track
I'm gonna get to you somehow

It's been a long time since I felt this feeling
That anyone could make me feel so right
It's been a long time since I felt this feeling
And I'm gonna feel it tonight
Tonight

It's been so long since I held you tight
And felt you close to me
I though about you night after night
I've waited so patiently
But I'm not gonna wait for you anymore
I've gotta have your love
I've never felt this way before
You're all that I'm thinking of

Cause it's been a long time since I felt this feeling
That anyone could make me feel so right
It's been a long time since I felt this feeling
And I'm gonna feel it tonight
Yes, it's been a long time since I felt this feeling
That anyone could make me feel so right
It's been a long time since I felt this feeling
And I'm gonna feel it tonight

When you went away, you told me, baby, that you'd be back again
This is the day and I'm on my way
Yes, and you're gonna love me
You're gonna love me tonight

It's been a long time since I felt this feeling, yeah
It's been a long time since I felt this feeling, yeah
It's been a long time since I felt this feeling, yeah

It's been a long time since I felt this feeling
That anyone could make me feel so right
It's been a long time since I felt this feeling, yeah...
