Well, good mornin' Tell me how'd you sleep last night You're still smiling So we must've done something right Don't feel guilty Because you turned to me last night We ain't done nothin' wrong We've just been lonely too long No, we ain't done nothin' wrong We've just been lonely too long It's only natural When you've been too long in the dark To look for comfort And to warm yourself by the fire We're just afraid That we might get our fingers burned But we ain't done nothin' wrong We've just been lonely too long No, we ain't done nothin' wrong We've just been lonely too long Nothing's wrong that can't be cured With a new love All you need is someone like me to Be sure of, to be your love I'll be waiting Standing right outside your heart And I'll be watching For the slightest sign of a spark And I'll be here If you should want to turn to me 'Cause we ain't done nothin' wrong We've just been lonely too long No, we ain't done nothin' wrong We've just been lonely too long We ain't done nothin' wrong We've both been lonely too long Oh, just been lonely too long Both been lonely too long Just been lonely too long
