I used to hurry a lot, I used to worry a lot,

I used to stay out 'til the break of day

Oh, they didn't get it, it was high time I quit it

I just couldn't carry on that way

Oh, I did some damage, I know it's true

Didn't know I was so lonely 'til I found you

Who can go the distance? We'll find out in the long run

We can handle some resistance if our love is a strong one

People talking about us, they got nothing else to do

When it all comes down, we will still come through

In the long run, ooh, I want to tell you

It's a long run

You know I don't understand why you don't treat yourself better

Do the things, the things that you do

'Cause all the debutantes in Houston, baby

Couldn't hold a candle to you

Did you do it for love? Did you do it for money?

Did you do it for spite? Did you think you had to, honey?

Who is gonna make it? We'll find out in the long run

I know we can take it if our love is a strong one

Well, we're scared, but we ain't shaking

Kind of bent, but we ain't breaking

In the long run, ooh, I want to tell you

It's a long run

In the long run, in the long run

Gonna find out, ooh, find, find, find, find out

Long, long, long, long, long, long, long

Ooh, run, run, run, baby, run, run, baby

Long, long, long, long

Ooh, my baby
