New Birth Lyrics - It's Been a Long Time

New Birth - It's Been a Long Time

Been such a long time since I saw you
Tell me, girl, how long has it been?
I'm so glad to see you, 'cause I really love you
You were my only friend

You for me and me for you
Oh, listen, baby
You for me and me for you

It's been such a long time
Girl, I still love you
I guess I'll always will
But in my silent nights, I long to hold you tight
It's you I really need

You for me and me for you
Listen, baby
You for me and me for you, yeah, yeah

Ah
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Ah
I've been missing you, baby
Yes I have
Here's what you've got to do, you got to do for me
You got to understand me
I got to understand you
You got to hang on in there
You got to hang on in there, baby
Understand me (hang on, hang on, hang on)
I'll understand you (it's been too long, hoo, hoo, hoo, ooh)
I need ya, I need ya (hang on hang on, hang on)
I need ya, I need you, baby (it's been too long, hoo, hoo, hoo, ooh)
Whenever I feel like this, baby (hang on, hang on, hang on)
The only thing I can say is (it's been too long, hoo, hoo, hoo, ooh)
Ooh baby (hang on, hang on, hang on)
Ooh baby, baby, yeah (it's been too long, hoo, hoo, hoo, ooh)
'Cause it ain't no harm no more sometimes (hang on, hang on, hang on)
(It's been) Oh Lord, if I can help it, here's what I say
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Ooh baby, (hang on, hang on, hang on)
You know I love you (it's been too long, hoo, hoo, hoo, ooh)
(Hang on, hang on, hang on) Oh, oh
(It's been too long) You've got to sit down and make a little love to me, baby
(Hang on, hang on, hang on) Ooh, ooh, ooh
Oh, oh, oh, yeah (it's been too long, hoo, hoo, hoo, ooh)
You got to understand me, baby, (Hang on, hang on, hang on)
And I'll understand you (it's been too long, hoo, hoo, hoo, ooh)
I need you (hang on, hang on, hang on)
(It's been too long) I need you, you, you, you, you, you, you, baby

Let me say oh, oh, oh, oh, oh (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Hang on, hang on, hang on

Hoo, hoo, hoo, ooh
Hang on, hang on, hang on
It's been too long
Hoo, hoo, hoo, ooh
Hang on, hang on, hang on

Hoo, hoo, hoo, ooh
Hang on, hang on, hang on

Hoo, hoo, hoo, ooh
