It Takes a Long, Long Time

Takes a long, long time to lose that misery feeling
Takes a long, long time to ever stop believing
That maybe some sweet day
She'll come back and say she's mine, She's mine
Takes a long, long time to ever stop that crying
When you've heard the news you know, you felt like dying

Cause maybe she'll return. You know she'll never learn
Never learn
You can't believe she'd leave you
How could she deceive you?
But you'll find out that someday
She'll be at your door

It'll take a long, long time to stop that flame from burning
If you ever see her, you're gonna start that yearning
She really done you wrong
And now she's gone, gone, gone
