You've Been In Love Too Long

(album: 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 believing whatever he may say
Now when he gets you crying
But your heart tells you Girl keep right on trying
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 seeing double

Cuz 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
