Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Girls, you've been in love too long
I said, girls, you've been in love too long
[Verse 2]
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'
[Verse 3]
You know, girl, you've been in love too long
(You're a fool for your baby)
Girl, you've been in love too long
(You're a fool for your baby)
[Verse 4]
When you accept his 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
[Verse 5]
'Cause when your 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)
[Verse 6]
'Cause when a week of loneliness
Can be erased with just one sweet caress
[Verse 7]
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)
[Verse 8]
When in the wrong, look right
Though he always treats you bad
You find excuses for all the sadness
And abuses
[Verse 9]
Girl, you've been in love too long
You been in love too long
[Verse 10]
Been in love too long
You have been in love too long
I have been in love too long
You have been in love too long
You have, ooh
You have been in love, oh
