How long must I wait for you?
Will it be forever before you see
the light of love that shines?
How long?
Baby, I've loved you,
since I was just about so high
Ever since I can remember,
you've been the one
My heart desired and
watched you cry a river
So many times before
Each time someone breaks your heart,
you come running to me for sympathy
And how long must I wait for you?
Will it be forever before you see the light of
love that shines out on me?
Sometimes it hurts to be a friend
Sometimes I just can't take it
Being in love with you,
when you just don't see me that way
Sometimes, baby, it hurts so bad
Sometimes, darling, it hurts so bad
And how many times have I wanted you
Like a man wants a woman
And you've left it all and made me feel
A fool for needing you
And how many times have you been
in the arms of someone new?
And when you've given it up and he turns you out,
you come to me for sympathy
And how long must I go on?
Givin' love to you when all
you do is play around
But this heart of mine, how long?
Sometimes it hurts to be a friend
Sometimes I just can't take
Being in love with you
When you just don't see me that way
Sometimes, baby,
it hurts so bad
Sometimes, oh,
it hurts so bad
Sometimes it hurts so bad
you
