It Took A Long Time (Taylor)

Oh, it took a long time

To get you off my mind

Oh, it took a long time

To get you off of my mind

Said you don't like my fishing

But you keep on wetting your line

Oh, it took a long time

To see you doing me wrong

Oh, it took a long time

To see you doing me wrong

Well, you tell me that you're leaving

But I don't miss the time you're gone

Oh, you're like a dog, baby

Carrying a bone

You don't want it

But you won't leave it alone

You had me eating

From the palm of your hand

Snap your finger, baby

I run to your command

Oh, it took a long time

To get you off my mind

Said you don't like my fishing

But you keep on wetting your line

(Solo)

Oh, you're like a dog, baby

Carrying a bone

You don't want it

But you won't leave it alone

You had me eating

From the palm of your hand

Snap your finger, baby

I run to your command

Oh, it took a long time

To get you off my mind

Said you don't like my fishing

But you keep on wetting your line

Oh, it took a long time

To make me feel this way

Oh, it took a long time

To make me feel this way

Well, I cried you a river

But now it's your time to pay

Said I cried you a river

But now it's your time to pay

Well, I cried you a river

But now is your time to pay

Well, I cried you a river

But now is your time to pay
