How Long Is Too Long

(album: Bulletin Board - 1973)

You tell me you are through with him
You'll soon be free just to be with me
So I'll stay by the phone
I'm waiting every night at home
Watching tv shows and honey
Heaven knows I'm always alone

Tho' you never call me
I keep on loving you
Hoping that if I do, you're gonna love me too
And I won't have to wait too long

But how long is too long
I got to know, you're making me lose my mind
How long is too long
Cause baby I've been waiting a long long time
How long for so long
Hoping everything will turn out okay
How long is too long
To sit around and wait till you come my way

I see you walking around with him
Holding hands and making plans
You're never apart
I see the way you look at him
When you're in a crowd
I know it makes him proud
While it's breaking my heart

And all the time you tell me
Keep on loving you
And if I do, you're gonna love me too
And I won't have to wait too long

How long is too long
I've got to know, you're making me lose my mind
How long is too long
Cause baby I've been waiting a long long time
How long for so long
Hoping everything will turn out okay
How long is too long
To sit around and wait till you come my way

How long, how long is too long
How long, how long

How long is too long
I've got to know, you're making me lose my mind
How long is too long
Cause baby I've been waiting a long long time
How long for so long
Hoping everything will turn out okay
How long is too long
To sit around and wait till you come my way
