FOR THE LONG RUN Lyrics

Mama told me not to play-o
Every day-o, she would say-o
You can't dance the night away-o
When the rain comes pouring down

CHORUS:
You want somebody for the long run
Big strong one, for the long run
You need somebody for the long run
Make your love come tumbling down

But I did not listen to my mama
It's a bummer, in the summer
Cause I just want to do the rhumba
When the son comes shining down

CHORUS:
Don't want nobody for the long run
Big strong one, for the long run
Don't need nobody for the long run
Make my love come tumbling down

But who's that dancing over there now
In the red gown, with her hair down
She's the answer to my prayers now
Makes my love come tumbling down

CHORUS:
Do you want somebody for the long run
Big strong one, for the long run
Do need somebody for the long run
Make your love come tumbling down

Now I've given love a try-o
Get so high-o, I could fly-o
Dance all night out on the bayou
When the rain comes pouring down

CHORUS:
You want somebody for the long run
Big strong one, for the long run
You need somebody for the long run
Make your love come tumbling down

LAST CHORUS:
God bless you people in the long run
With a strong one for the long run
God send somebody in the long run
Make your love come tumbling down
Cause you want somebody for the long run
Big strong one, for the long run
You're gonna need somebody for the long run
Make your love come tumbling down
Make your love come tumbling down
