You had to be hiding from me, all this time
Making me wait so very long, for you
Cause out of nowhere you just appeared before my eyes
Letting me know that there'd be no more lonely nights
Where have you been all of my life
What took me so long to get it right
Where have you been all of my life
(Tell me...)
How did you know when it was time, to make your move
And how did you know this heart of mine was this needing
Being with you helps me realize that dreams come true
Next time don't take your sweet old time
To bring your love to me, oh yeah
Where have you been all of my life
What took me so long to get it right
Where have you been all of my life
To be honest, it's not fair
That so much time went by before we had a chance to share
Our love, we should've been together
But it's better late than never
Where have you been all of my life
Baby
Where have you been all of my life
Tell me
Where have you been all of my life
What took me so long to get it right
Where have you been all of my life
Tonight I'm giving you
The chance to show and prove
What you're really all about
Even though it's hard
I'm letting down my guard
There's been times in the past
When true love is what I thought I had
But that wasn't the case
I wish I could erase
The times I've hurt so bad
And now I find myself, here with you
Just as nervous as can be
Trying to give love a chance to live inside of me
Tonight I'm giving you
The chance to show and prove
What you're really all about
Even though it's hard
I'm letting down my guard
I cannot lie
You more than caught my eye
I'm really liking what I see
And now that I know if you and I can grow
If I never let the past go
Tonight I'm giving you
The chance to show and prove
What you're really all about
Even though it's hard
I'm letting down my guard
Tonight I'm giving you
The chance to show and prove
What you're really all about
Even though it's hard
I'm letting down my guard
You seem like, your mama raised you right
It was nice of you to invite
Me out for a night on the town
And so far I like how you get down
Tonight I'm giving you
The chance to show and prove
What you're really all about
Even though it's hard
I'm letting down my guard
Tonight I'm giving you
The chance to show and prove
What you're really all about
Even though it's hard
I'm letting down my guard
