It's nice of you to say We can still be friends But what I need the most Is never gonna be again Sure I always knew we were worlds apart But that don't help the sadness in my heart It's gonna take a long time To get you off my mind Love like yours is hard to find You'll never be mine It's gonna take a long time 1234 Oh when we were together Life was so complete An' then you met that girl An' I could not compete Oh you are like a magnet with your ways An' that's what I remember everyday It's gonna take a long time To get you off of my mind Love like yours is hard to find You'll never be mine It's gonna take a long time 1234 Love is so complex That's why I'm upset Cause I'm no good for you But still I can't forget You can always wake the beast in me That's the thing that never lets me be It's gonna take a long time To get you off of my mind Love like yours is hard to find You'll never be mine It's gonna take a long time 1234
