It Takes to Long to Learn to Live Alone Songtext
von Alice Clark

Deep down inside,
I know I still love him,
but he′ll never know,
'cause I′ll never tell,
or confide,
that I'm thinking of him,
and wishing him when I can walk,
up to him and say,

Baby,
what you been doin'?
I still love you,
like I did,
you know,
nothing′s gonna change it,
being the way I am,
I keep it hid.


Lately I′ve seen,
the look in his eyes,
it just breaks my heart,
he needs me so much,
to leave alone,
this moment,
oh why can't I walk up,
to that old boy and say,

Baby,
what you been doin′?
I still love you,
like I did,
don't you know,
nothing′s gonna change it,
being the way I am,
I keep it hid.

Maybe someday,
I'll throw off my foolish pride,
this ain′t no good,
watching him die this way,
since he's the same guy inside,
oh why can't I? Why can′t I?
Walk up to that old boy and say,


Baby,
what you been doin′?
Don't you know I still love you,
like I did,
oh boy you know,
that nothing′s gonna change it,
being the way I am,
I keep it hid.

Being the way I am yeah,
I keep it way, way down inside
yeah, oh baby,
being the way I am.
