How long will it take?
How long will it take
To make you need me?
I keep a waiting and a wondering
How long will it take
Well, you keep a telling me
Your love I'm winning
Then you turn right around
And you treat me hard and cold
Well, I ain't got
But one life here I'm living
So if you're gonna love me
Baby, I've gotta know
How long will it take?
How long will it take
To make you want me?
How much longer
Has this old heart gotta break?
How long will it take?
How long will it take
To make you need me?
I keep a waiting and a wondering
How long will it take
Now there ain't a thing on earth
That don't need a loving
And baby, I'm no exception to the rule
But if you keep a putting
Everything above me
Well, how in this world
Will I ever get through to you?
How long will it take?
How long will it take
To make you want me?
How much longer
Has this old heart gotta break?
How long will it take?
How long will it take
To make you need me?
I keep a waiting and a wondering
How long will it take
