How Long Will It Take

[Verse 1]
Well you keep telling me your love I'm winning
Then turn right around and 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 wanna know

[Chorus]
(How long will it take) how long will it take to make you want me
How much longer has this old heart got to break
(How long will it take) how long will it take to make you need me
Well I keep waitin' and wonderin' how long will it take

[Verse 2]
Now there ain't a thing on earth that don't need loving
And baby I'm no exception to the rule
But if you keep puttin' everything above me
How in the world will I ever get through to you

[Chorus]
(How long will it take) how long will it take to make you want me
How much longer has this old heart got to break
(How long will it take) how long will it take to make you need me
Well I keep waitin' and wonderin' how long will it take
Yeah I keep waitin' and wonderin' how long will it take
