Long Time
Shakira物 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hold me
Show me all the talent God has given you
I want us thinking outside the box (all long)
Just keep on going

You've done good things for me
Though I'm not an easy girl to please
I'll never run out of faith in you (all night long)
Just keep on going

Long time, baby long time
That's the way I've loved you baby
Long night it's been a long night
I'm breaking the record, told ya

Long time, baby long time
The minutes are eternal lately
Long night it's been a long night
Can't wait to touch you, touch you

I wish I had longer legs
That I could fasten to your body so you'd take me with you everywhere
And when you think I can take no more (all long)
Just keep on going

If I let you have your way don't think I'm weak
You got the stamina and the technique
So let those eloquent hands of yours (all long)
Just keep on going

Long time, baby long time
That's the way I've loved you baby
Long night it's been a long night
I'm breaking the record, told ya

Long time, baby long time
The minutes are eternal lately
Long night it's been a long night
Can't wait to touch you, touch you

This thing we've gots so rare
It's so good it's not even fair
So how could anything compare
To your way, no way

How can you do me so much good
I'm so happy I should get sued
But nothing matters next to you
No way, no way

Long time, long time
That's the way I've loved you baby
Long night it's been a long night
I'm breaking the record, told ya

Long time, baby long time
The minutes are eternal lately




Long night it's been a long night
Can't wait to touch you, touch you

大家好,這次主要是測試60FPS補幀,不知道大家覺得效果如何?目前已知 1:30 有方格出現,不過應該是輸出時造成的,以後應該不會再有。除此之外,相信這首歌大家都聽過啦!
