Lyrics :

Until we kissed
I never knew the thrills that cound be tasted
Until we kissed
I never knew the years that I had wasted
But now I know that I was waitin'
For you to come by, I was waitin'
Girl, won't you please tell me why
This took so long to begin, darling
Where have you been all my life
Until we touched
I never knew a touch was worth repeatin'
Until we touched
I never knew my heart was really beatin'

But now I know that I was waitin'
For you to come by, I was waitin'
Girl won't you please tell me why
This took so long to begin, darling
Please tell me where you been all my life
Oh, darling, where have you been
Where ya been, where ya been
When I was feeling blue
Where have you been
Where ya been, where ya been
When I was a, I was needin' you
Oh tell me, where you been
Where you been

...Repeat...
