FOR SO LONG Words & Music by Doug Cowen © 1999/BMI Verse 1 Oh baby I’ve wanted you for so long And I’m trying to right all my wrongs Just to prove to you that my love is strong Oh baby I’ve wanted you for so long Verse 2 Oh baby I’m trying hard not to cry When I see you walking with another guy I just kindly tip my hat and carry on Oh baby I’ve wanted you for so long Bridge Well I’m normally not shy But when I see you walking by I get tongue tied And my knee’s they start a shakin’ and my feet commence to makin’ tracks opposite of your sweet baby eye’s (LEAD) Verse 3 Oh baby I’ve wanted you for so long And I know here in my arms you belong I will prove to you that my love is strong Oh baby I’ve wanted you for so long Oh baby I’ve wanted you for so long
