Eg White - Takes Me A Long Time lyrics

[Verse 1] Hard work was I? Was I not worth the wait? You let me down for her And you knew it was my birthday Now every time I see you I wish I could feel sad That we got near, ridiculously near You're bored of it, you've had enough I know it's late and I should give it up Don't wanna ruin another night I just need you to know [Chorus] It takes me a long time It takes me a long time To trust somebody like you It took a long time It took me a long time And you backed off like I usually do [Verse 2] You did this You encouraged me But I must have really got there in the end Bloody fool indeed Literally the next day I discover You'd found your easy ride And you say “yeah whats the big deal?” It isn't what I want to hear But better now than in a year You'll never ruin another night I just need you to know [Chorus] It takes me a long time It takes me a long time To trust somebody like you It took a long time It took me a long time And you backed off like I usually do [Bridge] Well I can see four ways that this can be explained Either you've been a liar all along Or you're feeling strange Maybe I'm to blame Or maybe the whole thing was in my mind [Chorus] It takes me a long time It takes me a long time To trust somebody like you It took a long time It took me a long time And you backed off like I usually do
