DI got a lying smile I never put out for yGou
Cause I guesDs I never felt like I really needed tAo
And they say liEmttle girls have big dreams
GAnd nothing in the world was gonna come between DmAe and Emyou
And it was a loDng time comiAng
I waited hGalf my life just to find someone like Ayou
I spent a loDng time finding out love haAngs around after you walk out
GNot knowing it'd be a lAong time goDing
They say it's beDtter to have lost than never to have loved at Gall
And I say, whoever Dsaid that didn't have too far to Afall
And they say liEmttle girls are so naive
GThat wasn't how it was supposed to be with Dme Aand yEmou
And it was a loDng time comiAng
I waited hGalf my life just to find someone like Ayou
I spent a loDng time finding out love haAngs around after you walk out
GNot knowing it'd be a lAong time goDing
I've burEmned my bridges, had sleepless nights
GWashed my sins on the neon lights
And I'm still Dnot oAver yoGuA  
And it was a loDng time comiAng
I waited hGalf my life just to find someone like Ayou
