Otis Version (original)

|
There were time and you want to be free
|
My love is growing stronger,
|
as you become a haven to me
|
Oh I've been loving you a little too long
|
I dont wanna stop now, oh with you my life,
|
Has been so wonderful I can't stop now
|
There were times and your love is growing cold
|
My love is growing stronger
|
as our affair [affair] grows old
|
I've been loving you a little too long, long,
|
I don't want to stop now oh, oh, oh
|
I've been loving you a little bit too long
|
I don't wanna stop now no, no, no
