Lyrics
If I want to kiss you
I'll no longer hide behind the night
I ain't scared of stares from strangers
out in broad daylight
I am done with with all these covert kisses
stolen sly, just when we can
I'm going to make my man my missus
put a ring on his left hand
How long?
Brother of mine, it's a matter of time
How long?
This is love
This is love
You can marry a millionaire
On a TV show
Get hitched in Vegas
To some bitch you barely know
Me and my love have spent some seven years
building this home that we've made
Still our love is second class
Our Union is still renegade
How long?
Brother of mine, it's a matter of time
How long?
This is love
This is love
I don't bother your love
I don't bother your love
I don't bother your love
I don't bother your love
How long?
Brother of mine, it's a matter of time
How long?
