Lyrics

[Verse 1]
We've been friends for so long, I can't deny
These feelings are so strong, I keep hot inside
I wanna tell you but I can't find the words to say
So afraid if I do things will never be the same
I gotta work it out, time's really running out
Don't know what to do but I know I gotta say it now
Don't wanna lose a friend, but why should I pretend
That I don't love you when I've waited so long (So long)
[Chorus]
Been waiting (So long)
Been waiting (So long)
I can't hold it back 'cause I've been waiting so long
Been waiting (So long)
Been waiting (So long)
Been waiting (So long)
I've been waiting so long
[Chorus]
I've been trying to tell ya, tell ya, eh
That we should be together every day
Boy, you're giving me something, something, ooh
And I'm crazy in love with all you do
'Cause you're giving me something (Something)
Something, something, something (Something, something, something, yeah)
[Verse 2]
When you come to me and say
Some other girl has broke your heart once again
Will you ever learn?
All this time I've been patiently
Hoping that you would notice me
You need to know that I've been waiting so long (So long)
[Chorus]
Been waiting (So long)
I've been waiting (So long)
I can't hold it back 'cause I've been waiting so long
Been waiting (So long)
I've been waiting (So long)
I can't hold it back 'cause I've been trying to tell ya
Tell ya, tell ya
That we should be together every day
[Chorus]
Boy, you're giving me something, something ooh
And I'm crazy in love with all you do
'Cause you're giving me something (Something)
Something, something, something (Something, something, something)
'Cause you're giving me something, something (Something, something)
Something, something (Something)
[Chorus]
I've been waiting so long (So long)
Waiting so long (So long)
(So long, so long, so long, so long) So long, so long
[Chorus]
I've been trying to tell ya, tell ya, eh
That we should be together every day
Boy, you're giving me something, something, ooh
And I'm crazy in love with all you do
'Cause you're giving me something (Something)
Something, something, something (Something, something, something)
'Cause you're giving me something (Something)
Something, something, something (Something, something)
Oh you're giving me something
