Do you know the time is right
To dive on everything below
And you must inform yourself
That every word you read was written there before

And I have a scene, it's mean
And you know you're welcome anytime
And I was a long time coming
Late this morning, sorry

[[bridge:]]
But you never even try to hold my hand
All advice you gave me, I could understand

[[chorus:]]
What took you so long? (I tried my best)
What took you so long? (I need a rest)
What took you so long? (My time is coming now)
What took you so long? (I don't need a test)
What took you so long? (Don't waste my time)
What took you so long? (I know it's mine)
What took you so long? (My time is coming now)
What took you so long? (And I don't even mind)

Do you have the time tonight
To cancel where you have to go
And you might enjoy yourself despite yourself
Don't worry, I've been here before

And you know the scene, it's mean
And you know you're welcome back again
And I was a long time coming
Late this morning, sorry
