Hey, hey
Oh, wo, wo

I am not ashamed in any way
Of how I've my life
Held my head up high
Never once did I run and hide
Why should I compromise
I never live a lie

Take your time to understand me
If you want to share my life
Please don't think that I'm demanding
Its just the way I am
And now I need to know
How far we can go

CHORUS
I've been waiting so long [so come right or not at all]
Time for you to be strong [come right or not at all]
Show respect for me [a little love and honesty]
Even more sincerity [so come right or not at all]

If you come to me unselfishly
I'll treat you like a king
I will hold you tight
Each and every night
Tenderness is all that I possess
I really must confess

I would rather be here lonely
Than be mistreated by you
If you really want to know me
Just look into me eyes and make me realize
There's no need to hide

CHORUS
I've been waiting so long [so come right or not at all]
Time for you to be strong [come right or not at all]
Show respect for me [a little love and honesty]
Even more sincerity [so come right or not at all]

Deep down in my heart
There's a very special place
That so few people ever get to see
So if you want to get close to me
All you got to do is show me some sincerity

Sh-show me
Show me baby
Show me
Aw come on and show it
Baby
Come on baby
You need to be there
[ad-lib]

CHORUS
I've been waiting so long [so come right or not at all]
Time for you to be strong [come right or not at all]
Show respect for me [a little love and honesty]
Even more sincerity [so come right or not at all]

CHORUS
I've been waiting so long [so come right or not at all]
Time for you to be strong [come right or not at all]
Need to be strong
Show respect for me [a little love and honesty]
Yes indeed, take your time to understand me [so come right or not at all]
Even more sincerity [so come right or not at all]

CHORUS
I've been waiting so long [so come right or not at all]
Too long
Time for you to be strong [come right or not at all]
Need you right there
Show respect for me [a little love and honesty]
Even more sincerity [so come right or not at all]
