For as long as I can remember It's been struggle and worry every day It's been a long time coming I said it's been such a long time coming But good things are going to come my way I work so hard and I put in all my hours Just to make myself a few dollars every day It's been such a long time coming Baby, it's been such a long time coming But good things are going to come my way Never met a girl who'll love me I've spent so many lonely nights But then one day girl, you came along And every little thing is going to be alright I try so hard to make you feel so happy I'm going to do every little thing to make you stay, to make you stay Oh, baby, it's been such a long time coming I never thought it would come, but it's been such a long time coming And good things, oh let me tell you that these good little things Good things are going to come my way Oh, baby, yes good little things are going to come my way
