(Ben Peters)



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

‘Cause 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 weaken moment and every night and day

It just seems to keep on keeping on.



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…
