I thought I left, long recall
I wanted to ask you
You use to hug and there was no feeling beyond that
Do you remember back in the days
We use to laugh & play all night long
And if you do (If you do)
Tell me (Tell me) how long, how long

{Chorus}
How long do you need time away
Hopefully not long
You'll stay away
And I pray that everything's okay
Tell me I wanna know how long
How long will you
You'll be away

Now it hurts me so
Thinking about her
At night my bed is cold
And lonely without her
Can't explain what heaven knows
I'm crazy about her
If she come back she don't know
I said she really really don't know
So please my lady, just how long
{Chorus}
