lyrics

What Took You So Long?

What took you so long to come around?
What took you so long to break down?
What took you so long to see my charm?
What took you so long to be disarmed?
What took you so long?
What took you so long?

I thought I had made my intentions clear
You said I belong at the end of a spear
I said you are really my kind of gal
You said I was kind of Neanderthal

I said why don’t we go and have a bite?
You said I eat like a troglodyte
I told you I was suave, a sophisticate
You said “Go away, I may vomit!”

Chorus

I said, hey baby, let’s close the deal
You gave me the point of your stiletto heel
Come on, honey, don’t be so cruel
You said you were going back to Catholic School

I think I may be finally wearing you down
Maybe that’s a smile instead of a frown
Or the implication; you ain’t got nothin’ yet
But that’s OK with me, I’ll take what I can get

What took you so long to come around?
What took you so long to break down?
What took you so long to find my way?
What took you so long to come out and play?

Love is a strange and unnatural plight
That is, until I had love at first sight
I really don’t know what I’m doin’
That’s why I come off like a baboon

What took you so long to come around?
What took you so long to break down?
What took you so long to my underworld?
What took you so long to be my girl?
