lyrics

When I was young they told me
Love would come to me some day,
I’d meet that special someone,
Right for me in every way.
For decades all was hopeless
But my dreams have now come true,
And though it sounds ungrateful
Still I must inquire of you.

What took you so long now, baby,
To get to where you’re meant to be?
What took you so long now, baby,
To wind your way over to me?
I’ve been lying awake at night worrying about you
Wondering where you went wrong.
I’m glad that you made it
But, baby, what took you so long?

I suffered cruel rejections from
More girls than I can name
And even thought I loved a few
Who couldn’t feel the same.
I never would have looked their way
If I’d met you long ago,
And though I hate complaining
There’s one thing I need to know.

What took you so long now, baby,
To get to where you’re meant to be?
What took you so long now, baby,
To wind your way over to me?
I’ve been lying awake at night worrying about you
Wondering where you went wrong.
I’m glad that you made it
But, baby, what took you so long?

Think of all the years we wasted.
Why did you make me wait?
Think of all the tears we tasted.
Why did you turn up so late?

What took you so long, what took you so long
What took you so long, what took you so long
What took you so long, what took you so long
What took you so long, what took you so long

What took you so long now, baby,
To get to where you’re meant to be?
What took you so long now, baby,
To wind your way over to me?
I’ve been lying awake at night worrying about you
Wondering where you went wrong.
I’m glad that you made it
But, baby, what took you so long?
