Yeah I really want to see you
Yeah I really want to see you again.
I’ve been waiting here for so long
And it’s so cold I put on my long johns
Don’t you make me wait too long.
'Cause this feeling I can’t shake it,
Don’t you make me wait too long.
I really want to see you
Yeah I really want to see you
Yeah I really want to see you again.
I'd been waiting here for so long
When I realized you were long gone.
Won’t you bring me back my long johns?
'Cause I really want to see you
Yeah I really want to see you
Yeah I really want to see you again.
