Lyrics Love Takes Time - Live at Proctor's Theater, NY - 1993 - Mariah Carey

Oh-oh, oh-oh, hmm
Ooh, ooh
Ah, yeah

I had it all, but I let it slip away
Couldn't see I treated you wrong
Now, I wander around feeling down and cold
Trying to believe that you're gone

Love takes time to heal when you're hurting so much
I couldn't see that I was blind to let you go
I can't escape the pain inside
'Cause love takes time
I don't wanna be here, I don't wanna be here alone, ooh-ooh

I'm losing my mind
From this hollow in my heart, oh yeah
Suddenly I'm so incomplete
Lord, I'm needing you now
Won't you tell me how to stop the rain?
My tears are falling down endlessly

Oh-oh, love takes time to heal when you're hurting so much
I couldn't see that I was blind to let you go
I can't escape the pain inside
'Cause love takes time
And I don't wanna be here, I don't wanna be here alone

You might say that it's over (ooh)
You might say that you don't care, oh (ooh)
You might say you don't miss me (ooh)
You don't need me
But I know that you do, and I feel that you do inside

Love takes time to heal when you're hurting so much
Couldn't see that I, I was so blind to let you go
I can't escape the pain inside
Because love takes time, yeah
And I don't wanna be there, I don't wanna be there alone

Oh-oh-oh-oh
No, no, no, no, no, no
Thank you
