What Took You So Long
Babe I met you physically
but there was something so familiar about you spiritually
and while we were talking; getting to know each other
I won't waste your time because you're already mine yeah.
could we have kissed four times (yeah)
Is that why you remind me of a better life? (oh)
maybe it's only my imagination
cos there's something familiar babe
something familiar babe
I already loved you
before I ever met you
so what took you so long babe
took you so long
I already loved you
before i ever met you
so what you so long babe
took you so long babe
before time began
i had a conversation with God about you how I would meet you later on
he gave me your name and
said I'd meet you around 2010
at the park about six am
while I'm jogging
and i see your smile and girl
I see the part of your heart
you ready for love
not this superficial thing the world's gotten to
I see the real you girl
so what took you so long babe
I've been here all the while girl
I already loved you
before i ever met you
so what took you so long babe
took you so long babe
I already loved you
before i ever met you
so what took you so long babe
took you so long babe
Can I have a meaning
just a single meaning
to say that I'd be here forever
Can I have a meaning
just a single meaning
to satisfy my girl forever
I already loved you
before i ever met you
so what took you so long babe
took you so long babe
I already loved you
before I ever met you
so what took so long babe
took you so long babe(I'm happy you're here finally girl)
but there was something so familiar about you spiritually
and while we were talking; getting to know each other
I won't waste your time because you're already mine yeah.
