Lyrics You've Been in Love Too Long - Bonnie Raitt

You've Been in Love Too Long

Girls
You’ve been in love too long
(You're a fool for your baby)
Don’t you know, girls
You’ve been in love too long
(You're a fool for your baby)
When just his smile
Takes all your pain away
And you find yourself believing
Whatever he may say
Now when he keeps you crying
But your heart tells you
Girl, keep right on trying
Girls
You’ve been in love too long
(You're a fool for your baby)
Don’t you know, girls
You’ve been in love too long
(You're a fool for your baby)
When you accept his wrongs
Just to share his kiss
And even your lonely nights
Are filled with happiness
Now girl, you’re in trouble
You know your heart
Is seeing double
When your head tells you to run
But your heart says
He’s the only one
Girls
You’ve been in love too long
(You're a fool for your baby)
(Girl, you’ve been
In love too long)
Poor fool
Cause when a week
Of loneliness can be erased
Eith just one sweet caress
Girls
You’ve been in love too long
(You're a fool for your baby)
I said girls, oh, yeah
Poor fool
When his wrongs look right
Though he always treats you bad
When you find little excuses
For all the sadness and abuses
Don’t you know, girls
You’re in love, oh, no You’re just a fool for your baby
(You're a fool for your baby)
Girls
You’ve been in love
Too long, poor fool
(You're a fool for your baby)
