How Long Will It Take
Love's Countdown: Craving Answers in Warner Mack's Melody
Lyrics
Well you keep telling me your love I'm winning
Expresses frustration about receiving inconsistent love and mixed signals.
Then turn right around and treat me hard and cold
Highlights the contradictory behavior of being treated both warmly and harshly.
Well I ain't got but one life here I'm living
Acknowledges the limited time in life and the importance of meaningful relationships.
So if you're gonna love me baby I wanna know
Asks for clarity and commitment in the love being offered.
(How long will it take) how long will it take to make you want me
Poses a question about the time it will take to make the person genuinely want and love the speaker.
How much longer has this old heart got to break
Expresses the emotional toll of enduring heartbreak and the desire for relief.
(How long will it take) how long will it take to make you need me
Reiterates the question of how long it will take for the person to truly need the speaker.
Well I keep waitin' and wonderin' how long will it take
Conveys the ongoing emotional struggle of waiting and wondering about the duration of the relationship's uncertainty.
Now there ain't a thing on earth that don't need loving
Asserts that every aspect of life requires love, emphasizing the speaker's need for affection.
And baby I'm no exception to the rule
Acknowledges the speaker's vulnerability, admitting the universal need for love.
But if you keep puttin' everything above me
Expresses concern about being neglected or not prioritized in the relationship.
How in the world will I ever get through to you
Questions how the speaker will communicate with the person if everything else takes precedence.
(How long will it take) how long will it take...
Repeats the question of how long it will take to establish a genuine connection.
Yeah I keep waitin' and wonderin' how long will it take
Reiterates the theme of waiting and wondering, highlighting the uncertainty of the relationship's future.
