How Long

[Verse 1] Every time I see you and I look into your eyes There's a feeling that I get And it's way down deep inside, girl I've been trying to hold on, but you say that you're not sure I just hope you realize what my heart is going through [Chorus] How long, must this feeling go on How long, must I stand the pain and How long, must this feeling go on Waiting for the night Waiting for the right time to come [Verse 2] I know all about the hurt and the problems in the past I know why you're scared of love Cause you think it just won't last long Well, I'm here to tell you what I'm saying is all true There ain't nobody else in life That can take the place of you [Chorus] [Verse 3] Why can't we just run away, and oh run A place where we can be alone and nobody finds us, run Can we both just run away, and oh run Girl, I can't wait to have you [Chorus]
