Words and music by rick nielsen



It's been a long time, baby

It's been a long time comin'

I don't like it

It's been on my mind, baby

It's not the same anymore

Let's face it, we've changed, yeah yeah



Don't stand there laughin'

'cause i'm here cryin'

Don't have no pity, baby

'cause my sun's never shinin'



And don't think i ever think about you with another man

And don't think i care about you, honey

You just don't understand

That's why i say



Can't stop it but i'm gonna try

Can't stop it but i'm gonna try

Can't stop it but i'm gonna try

Can't stop it but i'm gonna try

Can't stop lovin' you baby

Can't stop it but i'm gonna try



It's been a long time, baby

It's been a long time comin'

I don't like it

It's been on my mind, baby

It's not the same anymore

Let's face it, we've changed, yeah yeah



Here comes that feelin'

That feelin' never stops

From the first time that i met you

Till the last time that we talked



And some days i don't think i'll make it through

I'd feel better if you felt it too

But don't have no pity, pity baby

You just don't understand

That's why i say



Can't stop it but i'm gonna try

Can't stop it but i'm gonna try

Can't stop it but i'm gonna try

Can't stop it but i'm gonna try

Can't stop lovin' you baby

Can't stop it but i'm gonna try



It's been a long time, baby

It's been a long time, baby

I don't like it

It's been on my mind, baby

It's not the same anymore

Let's face it, we've changed, yeah yeah
