You know it takes a long, long time

You know it takes a long, long time

You love her so and still you know

That you will never want to let her go

Unless you leave her first

Then you come "out on top"

But, still there's just one thing

You haven't got

Like when you treated her kind

It's hard to face that open space

You're lookin' for peace of mind

Anywhere you can find

Still searchin' for peace of mind.



You know it takes a long, long time

You know it takes a long, long time

When first you gave and shared your soul

Showed her all the things that take their toll

She knows your weak spot

But, still she gets you hot

And, so you do it again

Reveal what lies within

And go for peace of mind

Like when you treated her kind

It's hard to face that open space

You know it takes a long, long time

You know it takes a long, long time.
