Baby it's gonna take a little bit longer

For me to ever get you off of my mind

Baby it's gonna take a little bit longer

'Cause I've been lovin' you a long long time

People try to tell me that it won't be long

Till I won't even miss you anymore

But I can tell them it must be something mighty wrong

Every day I want you even more

And baby it's gonna take a little bit longer

For me to ever get you off of my mind

Baby it's gonna take a little bit longer

'Cause I've been lovin' you a long long time

They say this lonely feeling it'll go away

But after all this time now it ain't gone

Every weakin'n moment and every night and day

Just seems to keep on keeping on

And baby it's gonna take a little bit longer

For me to ever get you off of my mind

Baby it's gonna take a little bit longer

'Cause I've been lovin' you a long long time

Yes I've been lovin' you a long long time
