F-ing short the loving lasts
I can't mix the future with the past
Can I stay close to you
I wanna stay close to you
You've got yours and I've got mine
And what we have in so hard to define
Just take a look at your life line
You've got a lot to shine
Let's say baby
I wanna know you for a long long time
Ooh baby
I wanna know you for a long long time
Oh darling, lady friend
We'll see each other when it's time to show
Just for a minute or for a year
But then again, don't you and I know
A time between our time together
It doesn't exist, it grows old forever
Just take a look at your life line
Ob baby, you've got a lot to shine
I know it baby
I wanna know you for a long long time
Ob and baby
I wanna know you for a long long time
I wanna know baby, I wanna know baby
Oh you've got a lot to live girl
So I wanna know you for a long long time
I wanna know, I wanna know
I wanna know baby
So much to live for girl
So much to live for girl
So I wanna know you baby
Wanna know you for a long long time
I wanna know, wanna know
I can't mix the future with the past
Can I stay close to you
I wanna stay close to you
You've got yours and I've got mine
And what we have in so hard to define
Just take a look at your life line
You've got a lot to shine
Let's say baby
I wanna know you for a long long time
Ooh baby
I wanna know you for a long long time
Oh darling, lady friend
We'll see each other when it's time to show
Just for a minute or for a year
But then again, don't you and I know
A time between our time together
It doesn't exist, it grows old forever
Just take a look at your life line
Ob baby, you've got a lot to shine
I know it baby
I wanna know you for a long long time
Ob and baby
I wanna know you for a long long time
I wanna know baby, I wanna know baby
Oh you've got a lot to live girl
So I wanna know you for a long long time
I wanna know, I wanna know
I wanna know baby
So much to live for girl
So much to live for girl
So I wanna know you baby
Wanna know you for a long long time
I wanna know, wanna know
