I Want to Know You for a Long Time

Hall & Oates

Laughing's short but loving lasts 
I can't mix the future with the past 
Can I stay close to you? 
I wanna stay close to you 

You've got yours and I've got mine 
And what we have is so hard to define 
Just take a look at your lifeline 
Ooh, you've got a lot to shine 

And say baby 
I wanna know you for a long, long time 
Ooh, and baby 
I wanna know you for a long, long time 

Oh, darling, lady friend 
We'll see each other when it's time to show 
Just for a minute or for a year 
But then again, don't you and I know 

The time between our time together 
It doesn't exist, it grows old forever 
Just take a look at your lifeline 
Oh baby, you've got a lot to shine 

All I know is that baby 
I wanna know you for a long, long time 
Ooh, and baby 
Wanna know you for a long, long time 
Wanna know, wanna know, wanna know baby 

I wanna know baby, I wanna know baby 
Oh, you got a lot to live girl 
So I wanna know you 
(Know ya for a long, long time) 
I wanna know, wanna know, wanna know, baby 

So much to live for girl, so much to live for girl 
Oh, so I wanna know you, baby 
Wanna know you for a long, long time 
Wanna know, wanna know, wanna know, baby 

I wanna know, I wanna know, I wanna know, I wanna know ya, girl 
I wanna know ya, girl, ooh baby, baby, baby, baby 
Wanna know you for a long, long time 
Wanna know, wanna know, wanna know baby 
Wanna know you girl, wanna know you girl
