Baby, it's gonna take a little bit lo-onger

For me to ever get you off of my mind

Baby, it's gonna take a little bit lo-o-o-nger

'Cause I've been lovin' you a long-long time



People try to tell me that it won't be lo-ong

'Til I won't even miss your anymore

But I can tell there must be something mighty wro-ong

'Cause everyday I want you even more



And baby, it's gonna take a little bit lo-onger

For me to ever get you off of my mind

Baby, it's gonna take a little bit lo-o-onger

'Cause I've been lovin' you a long-long time



They say this lonely feelin', that it'll go away-ay

But after all this time now, it ain't gone

Every wakin' moment and every night in bay-ay

Just seems to keep on keepin' on



And baby, it's gonna take a little bit lo-onger

For me to ever get you off of my mind

Baby, it's gonna take a little bit lo-o-onger

'Cause I've been lovin' you a long-long time

'Cause I've been lovin' you a long-long ti-i-i-i-ime...
