Till we kissed, I never knew the years that I had wasted
Till we kissed, I never knew the kisses I had tasted
But now I see I was waitin'
For you to come back
I was waitin', girl
Won't you please tell me why this took so long to begin
Darlin', where have you been all my life?

Oh let me tell you
Till we touched, I never knew a touch was worth revealing
Till we touched, I never knew what life could truly be
But now I see I was waitin'
For you to come back
I was waitin', girl
Won't you please tell me why this took so long to begin
Darlin', where have you been all my life?

Oh darlin', where have you been
Where ya been, where ya been when I was feelin' blue?
Where ya been?
Where have you been, where ya been
Where ya been when I was needing you?

Oh where ya been, where ya been?

But now I see I was waiting
For you to come back
I was waiting, girl
Won't you please tell me why this took so long to begin
Darlin', where have you been all my life?

Oh darlin', where have you been
Where ya been, where ya been when I was feelin' blue?
Feelin' blue
Where have you been, where ya been
Where ya been when I was needing you?

Oh where ya been, where ya been?
Oh where ya been, where you been?
Oh where you been, where you been?
