By Now

By now she's putting on her makeup

Bet she's been crying all night long

By now her heart is surely breaking

Just like this cold gray Georgia dawn

By now she knows how much she needs me

'Cause she can't make it on her own

By now she thinks I really miss her

But I've hardly noticed she was gone

And any minute now, that phone is gonna ring

She'll say, "Let's work it out somehow"

But time keeps dragging on, what's taking her so long?

I should've heard from her by now

By now she's slipped into her nightgown

She's letting down her soft brown hair

By now she needs someone to hold her

And I know she's wishing I was there

And any minute now, that phone is gonna ring

And she'll say, "Let's work it out somehow"

But time keeps dragging on, what's taking her so long?

I should've heard from her by now

By now I know how much I love her
