Bad love, she took a good shot

Heartaches, she's had a whole lot of tough breaks

And no one could blame her if she holds out

She's a little worried to jump right in

She ain't in a hurry to try again

She's takin' time off from love but



Every night she cries just a little bit less

She tries just a little bit more

She's got every right to wait until her heart has healed

And when she's ready, I'm here and I'm gonna hold her

Inch by inch she gets a little closer to me, every night



She's mad that she ever loved him

She's through and she's had enough of him, but it's true

He's gonna take some time gettin' over

But I don't mind the waitin' because I know

She's worth the time it's takin', our love will grow

We're makin' it day by day and



Every night she cries just a little bit less

She tries just a little bit more

She's got every right to wait until her heart has healed

And when she's ready, I'm here and I'm gonna hold her

Inch by inch she gets a little closer to me, every night



Every night she cries just a little bit less

She tries just a little bit more

She's got every right to wait until her heart has healed

And when she's ready, I'm here and I'm gonna hold her

Inch by inch she gets a little closer to me, every night



Every night

Oh, she cries just a little, she tries just a little bit more

Every night, every night
