Its Gonna Take a Little Bit Longer
Endless Longing: Charley Pride's Timeless Plea for Love
Lyrics
Baby, it's gonna take a little bit lo-onger
Baby, the process of moving on will be extended and gradual.
For me to ever get you off of my mind
It will take time for me to stop thinking about you.
Baby, it's gonna take a little bit lo-o-o-nger
The emotional healing will be a prolonged journey.
'Cause I've been lovin' you a long-long time
Expressing a deep history of love that makes detachment difficult.
People try to tell me that it won't be lo-ong
Despite others' assurances, the recovery won't be quick.
'Til I won't even miss your anymore
The anticipation that missing you will eventually fade.
But I can tell there must be something mighty wro-ong
Suspecting a significant issue hindering the process of moving on.
'Cause everyday I want you even more
Every day, the desire for you intensifies rather than diminishes.
And baby, it's gonna take a little bit lo-onger
Reiterating the extended duration for overcoming the emotions.
For me to ever get you off of my mind
The challenge of removing thoughts of you from my consciousness.
Baby, it's gonna take a little bit lo-o-onger
Emphasizing the time required for emotional recovery.
'Cause I've been lovin' you a long-long time
Reaffirming the enduring nature of the love experienced.
They say this lonely feelin', that it'll go away-ay
Contrasting the belief that loneliness will fade with the reality.
But after all this time now, it ain't gone
Despite the passage of time, the loneliness persists.
Every wakin' moment and every night in bay-ay
Every moment, day or night, the feeling of loss continues.
Just seems to keep on keepin' on
The persistence of the emotional pain.
And baby, it's gonna take a little bit lo-onger
Repeating the prolonged duration for emotional recovery.
For me to ever get you off of my mind
The struggle to remove thoughts of you lingers.
Baby, it's gonna take a little bit lo-o-onger
Reiterating the prolonged nature of the emotional healing process.
'Cause I've been lovin' you a long-long time
Stressing the enduring quality of the love shared.
'Cause I've been lovin' you a long-long ti-i-i-i-ime...
Summing up the enduring love experienced over a significant period.
