Did you spend your July in 2009
Chasin' all of your dreams down
A long way from your hometown?
Did you fall hard in some spring break bar
On a beach in Daytona
Drunk on love and Corona?
What did you do with all your hours and your minutes?
Thank God, they were bringin' you to me 'cause
Right when I met you, girl, my world started spinnin'
Time slowed down, all I could think was
What took you so long?
Where you been all my life?
What road were you on
That led your heart to mine?
Who were you before you were in my arms?
Baby, I gotta know
What took you so long?
Now I'm never lettin' you go
Oh, but if it had been up to me then
We'd have met a lot sooner
But God knew what he was doin'
Girl, I wasn't ready but I'm ready now
Forever took forever but now I just wanna slow it down
What took you so long?
Where you been all my life?
What road were you on
That led your heart to mine?
Who were you before you were in my arms?
Baby, I gotta know
What took you so long?
Now I'm never lettin' you go
Now every morning that I'm wakin' up beside you
Sunshine kissin' on your skin
I can't believe that heaven ever let me find you
I've said it before and I'll say it again
What took you so long?
Where you been all my life?
What road were you on
That led your heart to mine?
Who were you before you were in my arms?
Baby, I gotta know
What took you so long?
Now I'm never lettin' you go
