Oh, oh, oh
For the longest time
Oh, oh, oh
For the longest ...
Oh, I love this girl with all my might
So I asked her out if that's alright.
Friendly and smart too
and goes to HHNE too ...
Wanted a girlfriend for the longest time.
Came on over to watch what was on
So I stretched and then reached out my arm.
That's when she told me,
"Shomer Negiah only!" ...
Some awkward silence for the longest time.
Oh, oh, oh
For the longest time
Oh, oh, oh
For the longest ...
Won't be holding her hand in the mall
And that's not the worst part of it all.
Don't know what I'll do.
I'm so attracted to you.
Can't really do this for the longest time.
Maybe this won't last very long.
I know she is right;
I'd rather be wrong.
But I know she's worth it by far
and we've come this far
and it's more than I hoped for.
Once I thought that I could not go on.
Now I know that I was very wrong.
Sought out affection,
Found a spiritual connection ...
That's what I longed for for the longest time.
I had second thoughts at the start.
I said to myself,
"Listen to your heart."
Now I know the woman that you are --
Religious kind and smart
and it's more than I hoped for.
Being Shomer ... what the future brings:
Real relationship, marriage, and things.
Now I am so glad
For what we really now have
that we've been Shomer for the longest time.
Oh, oh, oh
For the longest time
Oh, oh oh,
For the longest time...
