Betty Everett - It's Been A Long Time lyrics

rate me

Been such a long time<br />

Since I knew love<br />

Been such a long time<br />

Since I knew love<br />

<br />

Say, hey, baby<br />

Can I have your attention<br />

I've been lonely longer<br />

Than I care to mention<br />

<br />

You look like the kind of guy<br />

Who can really satisfy<br />

I'm the one who needs you<br />

And I can tell you why<br />

<br />

Cause it's been so long<br />

Since I been loved<br />

It's been a long time, yeah<br />

Since I been loved<br />

<br />

You don't have to tell me<br />

A whole lot of pretty words<br />

I doubt if you could find one<br />

I ain't never heard<br />

<br />

You don't have to claim to<br />

Be the very best<br />

Cause all I need is<br />

Love and respect<br />

<br />

I said it's been a long time<br />

Yeah, since I been loved<br />

It's been a long time, yeah<br />

Since I been loved<br />

<br />

Oh, baby, I don't<br />

Really mean to scare you<br />

If I'm too aggressive<br />

Honey, let me tell you<br />

<br />

Ain't nobody needed me<br />

Since I don't know when<br />

So glad I found you<br />

Say, where've you been<br />

<br />

I said it's been a long time<br />

Since I been loved<br />

It's been a long time, yeah<br />

Since I been loved<br />

Oh, squeeze me all night<br />

<br />

Yeah (been so long) so long, yeah<br />

(Since I been loved) been too long<br />

(Been so long) somebody needed me<br />

(Since I been loved) hey, hey<br />

<br />

(Been so long) been so long<br />

(Since I been loved)<br />

Somebody loved me<br />

(Been so long) somebody needed me<br />

(Since I been loved)<br />

<br />

Somebody squeezed me<br />

Somebody needed me<br />

Somebody loved me...</
