I've worked hard so I could say nobody owns me You can spend your whole life trying to forget that you're lonely Meanwhile the world went by and I paid it no mind I thought I could close the doors 'cause baby I earned it I felt I had to prove myself and that meant everything Then you walked in, and suddenly I realized I've been waiting such a long time Waiting here for you, girl We finally opened up our eyes and looked around us Like children trying to hide but baby they found us Now I don't recognize the streets no more Now I feel guilty just havin' a good time If we don't share the pain we live with how will it end Honey, let's try again Don't you tell me that the dream is over 'cause I've been waiting such a long time Waiting here for you, girl Take your time girl, it won't disappear Come tomorrow, I'll be right here Oh, I ain't goin' nowhere because I've been waiting such a long time Waiting here for you, girl
