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 'Til I won't even miss you anymore But I can tell them it must be something mighty wrong Caue every day I want you even more And baby it's gonna take a little bit longer... ( steel - strings ) They say this lonely feeling it'll go away But after all this time now it ain't gone Every weaken moment and every night and day It just seems to keep on keeping on Baby it's gonna take a little bit longer... Yes I've been lovin' you a long long time
