What Took You So Long? (Lyrics):<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yeah, yeah, yeah<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oh, talk to me, can’t you see
I’ll help you work things out?
Oh, don’t wanna be your enemy
And I don’t wanna scream and shout<\/p>\n\n\n\n

‘Cause, baby, I believe in honesty
A man that’s strong and true
I shouldn’t have to say now, baby
That I believe in you<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What took you so long?
What took you all night?
What took you forever to see I’m right?
You know I treat you so good
I make you feel fine
And no, I’ll never give it up this time
No, no, no<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oh, you touched my heart, right from the start
You didn’t know what to say (Didn’t know what to say)
But honey, understand, when you take my hand
Everything’s OK<\/p>\n\n\n\n

‘Cause, baby, I believe reality
It’s never far away
I’ve had enough, so listen, baby
I’ve got something to say<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What took you so long?
What took you all night?
What took you forever to see I’m right?
You know I treat you so good
I make you feel fine
You know I’ll never give it up this time
What took you so long? (What took you so long?)
What took you all night? (What took you all night?)
What took you forever to see I’m right?
You know I treat you so good (I treat you so good)
I make you feel fine (I make you feel fine)
You know I’ll never give it up this time
No, no, no<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(No, no, no)
Ooh
No, no, no (No, no, no)
Ooh<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Baby, I believe in honesty
A man that’s strong and true
I shouldn’t have to say now, baby
That I believe in you<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What took you so long?
What took you all night?
What took you forever to see I’m right?
You know I treat you so good
I make you feel fine
You know I’ll never give it up this time
What took you so long? (What took you so long?)
What took you all night? (What took you all night?)
What took you forever to see I’m right?
You know I treat you so good (I treat you so good)
I make you feel fine (I make you feel fine)
You know I’ll never give it up this time
What took you so long? (What took you so long?)
What took you all night? (What took you all night?)
What took you forever to see I’m right?
You know I treat you so good (I treat you so good)
I make you feel fine (I make you feel fine)
You know I’ll never give it up this time
