[Verse 1] I used to hurry a lot, I used to worry a lot I used to stay out till the break of day Oh, that didn't get it It was high time I quit it I just couldn't carry on that way [Pre-Chorus 1] Oh, I did some damage I know it's true Didn't know I was so lonely Till I found you [Chorus 1] You can go the distance We'll find out In the long run (In the long run) We can handle some resistance If our love is a strong one (Is a strong one) [Pre-Chorus 2] People talking about us They got nothin' else to do When it all comes down We will still come through [Chorus 2] In the long run Ooh, I want to tell you It's a long run [Verse 2] You know I don't understand Why you don't treat yourself better Do the crazy things that you do Cause all the debutantes in Houston, baby Couldn't hold a candle to you [Pre-Chorus 3] 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? [Chorus 3] Who is gonna make it? We'll find out In the long run (In the long run) I know we can take it If our love is a strong one (Is a strong one) [Pre-Chorus 4] Well, we're scared But we ain't shakin' Kinda bent But we ain't breakin' [Chorus 4] In the long run Ooh, I want to tell you It's a long run In the long run In the long run [Outro] Gonna find out, ooh fa-fa-fa-find out Long-long-long-long, long-long-long-long Ooh, run-run-run, baby, run-run, baby Long, long, long, long
