Lyrics

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
