[Verse 1]
Baby, I was born lonely
I never had my share of lovin'
I never had no one to hold me
But through the empty years, I've told me
Hang on in there, and some sweet day
A lovely woman will come your way
[Chorus]
Yeah, you've been a long time comin'
A long time comin'
A long time comin', yeah
I've been waiting so long
[Verse 2]
I got so much I been saving
So much that I wanna give you
Makes me almost feel like crying
I got so much that need satisfying
So baby, please, try and understand
If my lovin' gets out of hand
[Chorus]
Yeah, you've been a long time comin'
A long time comin'
A long time comin', yeah
I've been waiting so long
[Verse 3]
Through the wasted nights without you
I lie in bed, I think about you
I ache to hold my arms around you
I thank the good Lord that I found you
[Chorus]
Yeah, you've been a long time comin'
A long time comin'
A long time comin', yeah
I've been waiting so long
