Lyrics Bonnie Raitt

Bonnie Raitt

You've Been in Love Too Long

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 girl, you've been in love too long

(You're a fool for your baby)

Girls, you've been in love too long

(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

Girl, you've been in love too long

'Cause when a week of loneliness

Can be erased with just one sweet caress

Girl, you've been in love too long

(You're a fool for your baby)

Don't you know girl, you've been in love too long

(You're a fool for your baby)

When his wrong looks right

Though he always treats you bad

You find little excuses

For all the sadness and abuses

Girl, you've been in love too long

You've been in love too long

Love too long

Baby love too long

Baby love too long

Baby love too long
