I’ve Been Diggin You

Ray Parker, Jr.

I've been diggin' you for the longest

But I just couldn't find a way

I've been lovin' you for the longest

Took me this long just to say



First time I looked into your eyes

You were huggin' someone else

I never had a chance to tell you

I wanted you for myself



Now my timin' may be wrong

But I've already waited too long



I've been diggin' you for the longest

But I just couldn't find a way

I've been lovin' you for the longest

Took me this long just to say



It's kind of difficult knowin' he's your friend

I'm tryin' hard not to show it

But I can tell by that look on your face

You're givin' him that lovin', I just know it



It's never been my intention to steal

But I got to let you know how I feel



I've been diggin' you for the longest

Oh, couldn't find a way

And I've been lovin' you, mmm

Took me this long just to say



I've been watchin' you, watchin' you, watchin' you, baby, oh

I've been lovin' you, lovin' you, lovin' you, baby, oh, smile



(Ooh, ooh)

(Ooh, ooh)

Mmm



I could be foolin' myself

Into thinkin' I will be with you (Baby), mmm

Guess I could be dreamin'

But I kinda think you want it too

I've been waitin' for such a long time

Now I've got to tell you what's on my mind



I've been diggin' you for the longest

But I just couldn't find a way

I've been lovin' you for the longest

Girl, I finally found what to say



Watchin' you, watchin' you, baby

I move on the slide

And I've been lovin' you, can't you tell

These feelings I just cannot hide



I've been diggin' you, oh

Na-na-na-na, oh...oh...

And I've been lovin' you for the longest, baby

Ow



I've been diggin' you

I've been watchin' you

I've been lovin' you
