I Want to Know You for a Long Time Songtext
von Daryl Hall & John Oates

Laughing 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 is so hard to define
Just take a look at your lifeline
Ooh, 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

Ooh, 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, only you and I know


A time between our time together
It doesn't exist, it grows old forever
Just take a look at your lifeline
Ooh baby, you′ve got a lot to shine
All I know it that baby
I wanna know you for a long, long time
Ooh, and baby
I wanna know you for a long, long time

(Moving up, moving up, moving up, baby)
I wanna know, baby
I wanna know, baby
Oh, you got a lot to live girl
So I wanna know (know you for a long, long time)
(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 you, girl
I wanna know you, girl
Oh baby, baby, baby, baby
(Wanna know you for a long, long time)
(Wanna know, wanna know, wanna know, baby)

Ooh, girl!
Wanna know you, girl
