How Long Do I Have To Wait For You? - Sharon Jones, 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

Won’t 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…
