Everybody's lookin' for a happy ending   Before the real story even begins   It's so easy to pretend you're not pretending   Till the naked truth comes walkin' on in      But we ain't runnin' when the truth gets hot   That's how ya find out just how much you've really got      Chorus   Let's make a long story longer   Let's make this strong love a little bit stronger   Our star is gonna shine, shine even brighter   Believe what we feel, keep it real   Make a long story longer      The seed of love is so deeply planted   Inside the heart is where it lives and grows   We'll keep it safe 'cause we don't take it for granted   Let the hard rains fall, let the cold wind blow      Every storm is just a lesson to learn   Just bring us closer with every page we turn baby      Chorus   Ya gotta stand the test of time   If ya wanna keep the treasure you find   Some can only dream about forever   But look at us baby, we're creatin' it together      Chorus   Let's make a long story longer   Let's make this strong love a little bit stronger   Baby, live what we feel, keep it real   Make a long story longer   Let's make a long story longer
