[Verse 1]
Well, 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

[Chorus]
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
Gonna take a long time
One, two, three, four

[Verse 2]
Oh, when we were together
Life was so complete
And then you met that girl
And I could not compete
You are like a magnet with your ways
That's what I remember every day

[Chorus]
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
One, two, three, see
[Verse 3]
Your l-l-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

[Chorus]
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
Gonna take a long time
One, two, three, four
