Longer and Stronger Lyrics by Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings

Soul Time!

0

How long do I have to wait for you, honey
Before a girl like me can move on
Oh baby, tell me how long do I have to wait for you, honey
Before I can say that you're gone
Every hour seams like a day
And every day is like a year
And every week is an eternity
Well I get lonely baby when you're not here
Oh baby, tell me how long do I have to wait for you, honey
Before a girl like me can move on
Oh baby, tell me how long do I have to wait for you, honey
Before I can say that you're gone
Won't you let me know, yeah
I'm in an awful state, baby
You said you loved me so
But I just don't know how long I can wait
How long do I have to wait for you, honey
Before I can say that you're gone
I asked your mama, I asked your papa
Your friends, your preacher and your boss
No one knows where you're gone to, baby
Or if you're coming back to me
Are we together or are we lost
Oh baby tell me how long do I have to wait for you, honey
Before a girl like me can move on
Oh baby, tell me how long do I have to wait for you, honey
Before I can say that you're gone
Will you let me know, yeah
I'm in an awful state, baby
You said you loved me so
But I just don't know how long I can wait
Oooh baby, tell me how long do I have to wait for you, honey
Before a girl like me can move on
Baby how long do I have to wait for you, honey
Before I can say that you're gone
Aaa how long do I have to wait for you, honey
Before a girl like me can move on
Baby how long do I have to wait for you, honey
Before I can say that you're gone
Yeah, how long, ooooh
Baby tell me how long
Do I have to wait, o tell me baby...
