Longer And Stronger Lyrics - Sharon Jones And The Dap-kings

How long do I have to wait for you, honey 

Before a girl like me can move on 

Oh baby, tell me how long do I have to wait for you, honey 

Before I can say that you're gone 

Every hour seams like a day 

And every day is like a year 

And every week is an eternity 

Well I get lonely baby when you're not here 

Oh baby, tell me how long do I have to wait for you, honey 

Before a girl like me can move on 

Oh baby, tell me how long do I have to wait for you, honey 

Before I can say that you're gone 

Wont you let me know, yeah 

I'm in an awful state, baby 

You said you loved me so 

But I just don't know how long I can wait 

How long do I have to wait for you, honey 

Before I can say that you're gone 

I asked your mama, I asked your papa 

Your friends, your preacher and your boss 

No one knows where you're gone to, baby 

Or if you're coming back to me 

Are we together or are we lost 

Oh baby tell me how long do I have to wait for you, honey 

Before a girl like me can move on 

Oh baby, tell me how long do I have to wait for you, honey 

Before I can say that you're gone 

Will you let me know, yeah 

I'm in an awful state, baby 

You said you loved me so 

But I just don't know how long I can wait 

Oooh baby, tell me how long do I have to wait for you, honey 

Before a girl like me can move on 

Baby how long do I have to wait for you, honey 

Before I can say that you're gone 

Aaa how long do I have to wait for you, honey 

Before a girl like me can move on 

Baby how long do I have to wait for you, honey 

Before I can say that you're gone 

Yeah, how long, ooooh 

Baby tell me how long 

Do I have to wait, o tell me baby
