100,000 Years Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm sorry to have taken so long
It must have been a bitch while I was gone
You mind if I sit down for a while?
You'll reacquaint yourself with my style
Well, how could you have waited so long?
It must have been a bitch while I was gone
All this time you put up a fear
For a hundred thousand years

[Verse 2]
I'm sorry to have taken so long
It must have been a bitch while I was gone
All this time you put up a fear
For a hundred thousand years

[Bridge]
And, baby, won't you let me?
I think I'm going out of my head
I'm just about to, ooh yeah, ha

[Verse 3]
I'm sorry to have taken so long
It must have been a bitch while I was gone
You mind if I sit down for a while, would you, babe?
You'll reacquaint yourself with my style

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

About

Genius Annotation

According to Paul Stanley, 100,000 Years is

“A warped song about an intergalactic space traveler. To analyze it too deeply leaves me scratching my head, but it’s about time travel. It’s about space travel and the amount of time one spends going from one galaxy or planet to another and then returns 100,000 years later”
