Lyrics Hall & Oates

Hall & Oates

I Want to Know You for a Long Time

Laughing's short but 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 is so hard to define

Just take a look at your lifeline

Ooh, you've got a lot to shine

And say baby

I wanna know you for a long, long time

Ooh, and 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

The time between our time together

It doesn't exist, it grows old forever

Just take a look at your lifeline

Oh baby, you've got a lot to shine

All I know is that baby

I wanna know you for a long, long time

Ooh, and baby

Wanna know you for a long, long time

Wanna know, wanna know, wanna know baby

I wanna know baby, I wanna know baby

Oh, you got a lot to live girl

So I wanna know you

(Know ya for a long, long time)

I wanna know, wanna know, wanna know, baby

So much to live for girl, so much to live for girl

Oh, so I wanna know you, baby

Wanna know you for a long, long time

Wanna know, wanna know, wanna know, baby

I wanna know, I wanna know, I wanna know, I wanna know ya, girl

I wanna know ya, girl, ooh baby, baby, baby, baby

Wanna know you for a long, long time

Wanna know, wanna know, wanna know baby

Wanna know you girl, wanna know you girl
