(Curly Putman - Sonny Throckmorton)

I've been loving you too long, It's time I sang a different song
You've been stringing me along, I've been loving you too long
I've been clinging like a vine but I'm gonna take the time
To find where I belong, I've been loving you too long.

Babe, I'm not saying that I've stopped loving you
That it won't be hard to say goodbye
I may never get your lovin' out of my head
But I'm just saying that I've gotta try.

I've been loving you too long, It's time I sang a different song
You've been stringing me along, I've been loving you too long
I've been clinging like a vine but I'm gonna take the time
To find where I belong, I've been loving you too long.

--- Instrumental ---

No one owns another one and that's what you try
You tried to own me body mind and soul
Love to you's a oneway street all coming your way
But always givin's gettin' kind of gold.

I've been loving you too long, It's time I sang a different song
You've been stringing me along, I've been loving you too long
I've been clinging like a vine but I'm gonna take the time
To find where I belong, I've been loving you too long...
