You say "Girl, never let it show I got to let you know the way I feel about you Not to leave me, believe me I need a lover in my life" How long for love? How strong is love? And you say you know it's true Whoa it's true, the way I feel about you How long must I wait? How long will it take? For love to come my way I'm standing alone No one to call my own How long must I wait? And you say "Girl, please don't shut me out Because I know what love's about The things we shared together Please believe me, believe me I need your lovin' all the time" How long for love? How strong is love? And you say you know it's true Whoa it's true, the way I feel about you How long must I wait? How long will it take? For love to come my way I'm standing alone No one to call my own How long must I wait? You say "Girl, the way you make me feel I know that love is real And time could make us stronger And you'll be lovin' only me And my love will make you see You'll understand that's all I need" Gonna take a little time Before I say you're mine Walkin' on the street Steppin' out maybe Walkin' out the door I cannot take no more I'll make it on my own I'm not afraid to be alone Strong enough for me (Strong enough) Stand and let me see Take a chance on love (Strong enough, I'm strong enough) You're the one I'm dreamin' of How long must I wait? How long will it take? For love to come my way I'm standing alone No one to call my own How long must I wait? How long must I wait? (Strong enough) How long will it take?
