You’ve Been In Love (That Little Bit Too Long) Lyrics

[Chorus]
You've been in love that little bit too long
You've been in love and i think that you know
You've been in love it's time to move on
You've been in love and it's starting to show

[Verse 1]
She's getting to used to your face, getting too used to your smile
She's saying the same things every morning before you leave her
You'd better run, find out what's going through her mind
You'd better look out, cause he's not far behind

[Chorus]

[Verse 2]
Suddenly she's trying to please you, you start to think she's acting strange
And after all these years she wears make-up in the morning
You'd better run, find out what's going through her mind
You'd better look out, cause he's not far behind

[Bridge]
Did you really believe she's doing it all for you?
Oh, can't you see, there's somebody else
You never showed it, you should have known it
You've been in love, yeah you've been in love
You've been in love, yeah you've been in love
[Verse 3]
Going round singing all those love songs, songs you haven't heard for years
You're going to have to ask her why she's so happy
You'd better run, find out what's going through her mind
But it may be too late, and i know why

[Chorus][x2]

[Outro]
To show, show, you've been in love, oh oh [x2]
