Been Too Long Lyrics by Shawn Stockman

Foreword

2018

[Verse 1]
I can’t seem to focus
‘Cause my girl is on the other side of town
She said that she needs me
And there’s no way I’ma let her down
(And there's no way I'ma let her down)
It’s stop and go on the highway
I’m so close, yet so far away
But I’ll be there, baby I’ll be there for ya
Don’t you worry ‘bout a thang
[Chorus]
‘Cause my love it’s been too long
(Been, been too long)
Since I held you in my arms
(In, in my arms)
And this time, I’ll only let you go
(Let, let you go)
Until you tell me so
(So, woah woah woah)
My love it’s been too long
(Been, been too long)
Since I held you in my arms
(In, in my arms)
And this time, I’ll never let you go
(Let, let you go)
Until you tell me so
(So, woah woah woah)
[Verse 2]
I often wonder
Could it be that I’m only in a dream?
‘Cause you make everything feel like a ghetto movie
On a midsummer night thing
[Chorus]
Oh my love it’s been too long
(Been, been too long)
Since I held you in my arms
(In, in my arms)
And this time, I’ll only let you go
(Let, let you go)
Until you tell me so
(So, woah woah woah)
My love it’s been too long
(Been, been too long)
Since I held you in my arms
(In, in my arms)
And this time, I’ll never let you go
(Let, let you go)
'Til you tell me so
(So, woah woah woah)
[Bridge]
Time can’t decelerate
Can’t move slow enough for the love we make
I feel the genuine happiness
Like two children at play
So please baby, please don’t waste a moment
With asking me how was my day
Just press your lips against my lips, and hold me
‘Til the moonlight fades
[Chorus]
‘Cause my love it’s been too long
(Been, been too long)
Since I held you in my arms
(In, in my arms)
And this time, I’ll only let you go
(Let, let you go)
Until you tell me so
(So, woah woah woah)
My love it’s been too long
(Been, been too long)
Since I held you in my arms
(In, in my arms)
And this time, I’ll never let you go
(Let, let you go)
Until you tell me so
(So, woah woah woah)
