美國創作歌手［‘灰狼’羅伯］──軟式搖滾抒情曲──［It Sure Took a Long, Long Time／的確花了很長很長時間］

Im sure it might have grown old
Like most young things usually do
And dangling a line to try and find your mind
For that I cant blame you.
Now Im not questioning your motives
For all the silly things youve done
Now youre coming round putting yourself down
Telling me I always was the one
It sure took a long time to miss me
A long time for you to come around
A long time to find what was wrong
It sure took a long, long time.
The magic that we had together
Seems so much stronger than before
What did I learn to make the love return
Oh girl Ive got to learn some more.
