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
