Don′t take too long girl
Don't you take long
For I never change my song
I′ll wait, just as long as you don't kept me wait forever
Yeah, yeah
I'd loving from you a distance (chilling right now)
Looking forward for the day when we′ll be together
Are you playing with my head
Tell me now cos I don′t want to be disappointed
Are we going in the same direction, girl
Or am I feeding on illusion (.I'm here to stay)

Give me reason to feel this way
A prove that I′m not dreaming
Don't take long
For I never change my song
I′ll wait, just as long as you don't let me wait forever
When I look at you, why do I see
A brightness fit tomorrow
Girl don′t let me down, I'm depending on you
They like you until you make a decsion
Come away, and leave the crazy world behind
While you're up there, you mind to let me remind you
Just be loyal too
Don′t you take long
For I never change my song
I′ll wait, just as long as you don't kept me wait forever
