LONG TIME TILL I GET OVER YOU

Music & lyrics by Little Feat 1988

Baby what's wrong with you

Have to tell ya it seemed like we were through

And your memory's almost gone

Met this girl in New York City

That took the night train all the way from Buffalo

Just to see the midnight show

And every time I start to feelin' stronger

You call me up with just the right line

Keep me hangin' on a little longer

That's where I stumble every time

 

I keep thinkin' it'd be all right

Wondrin' when you'd come back home

Come to your senses girl and hold me tight

Love me like ya used to do

It's gonna be a long time till I get over you

 

I don't mind the lonely days so much

Can't take those long nights dreamin' bout your tender touch

Lyin' awake waitin' for the phone to ring

Got to my courage up

And find a way that I can cut you loose

But it don't seem to be no use

Got to tell ya every time I start to feelin' stronger

You call me up with just the right line

Keep me hangin' on a little longer

It get me every time

 

I keep thinkin' it'd be all right

Wondrin' when you'd come back home

Come to your senses girl and hold me tight

Love me like ya used to do

It's gonna be a long time till I get over you

 

Seem like every time I start to feelin' stronger

You call me up with just the right line

Keep me hangin' on a little longer

And don't it get me every time

 

Done
