You've Been in Love Too Long

Bonnie Raitt · Takin' My Time [1973]

Girls, you've been in love too long

I said girls, you've been in love too long

When just his smile takes all your pain away

And you find yourself believin' whatever he may say

Now when he gets you cryin'

But your heart tells you Girl keep right on tryin'

You know Girls, you've been in love too long.



Chorus: You're a fool for your baby

Bonnie: Girls, you've been in love too long

chorus: You're a fool for your baby.



When you accepted wrongs, just to share his kiss

Even your lonely nights, you know they're filled with happiness

You know Girl you're in trouble

You know your,heart is seein' double.



'Cause when you're head tells you to run

But your heart tells you "Girl he's the only one."

You know you have been in love too long.



Cuz when a week of loneliness can be erased with just one sweet caress

Girl,you've been in love too long

When his wrong looks right,though he always treats you bad

You find little excuses for all the sadness and abuses...
