[Verse]
When I first saw you, that day I won't forget
T'was more than physical but I hadn't met you yet
I was so nervous, but that was just inside
We started talkin', somehow we caught our vibe
I met you at the pier, you jumped up on my neck
Your effin' body smokin' harder than a cigarette
We spent some time, it started getting late
I said come over, you said I had to wait
But we can kick it, let's do it right
And we can do it each and every single night

Where you been!?
Cause I've been waitin' all my life
And let me in...
Cause Baby this is so... damn... real
Baby, where you been!?
Cause I've been waitin' all my life
And let me in...
Cause Baby this is so... damn... real

Everytime I'm with you, I'm gonna testify
It's like I'm your chorus, reach out my hand and touch the sky
Your every move, every gesture's photograph-able
Have I been happier, Baby that's laughable
You're a perfect Twelve, and no one else is a Ten
You take me places, that I swear to you I've never been
Perfect hips, perfect tips, perfect face Baby
Perfect brain, perfect heart, everything Baby
So glad we kicked it, we did it right
And now we do it, each and every single night

Where you been!?
Cause I've been waitin' all my life
And let me in...
Cause Baby this is so... damn... real
Baby where you been!?
Cause I've been waitin' all my life
And let me in...
Cause Baby this is so... damn... real

(Oh-Oh!) Cause I've been waitin' all my life (Where you been?)

(Aye-Aye-Oh-Oh!)
...Cause I've been waitin' all my life (Where you been?)

(Aye-Aye-Oh-Oh!)
Cause I've been waitin' all my life (Where you been?)

(Aye-Aye-Oh-Oh!)
Cause I've been waitin' all my life...

Where you been!?
Cause I've been waitin' all my life
And let me in...
Cause Baby this is so... damn... real
Baby where you been!?
Cause I've been waitin' all my life
And let me in...
Cause Baby this is so... damn... real

Where you been!?
Cause I've been waitin' all my life
And let me in...
Cause Baby this is so... damn... real
Baby where you been!?
Cause I've been waitin' all my life
And let me in...
Cause baby this is so... damn... real
