IT SURE TOOK A LONG, LONG TIME
written by Lobo

I'm sure it might have grown old
Like most young things usually do
and dangling a line to try and find your mind
For that I can't blame you.

Now I'm not questioning your motives
For all the silly things you've done
Now you're coming round putting yourself down
Telling me I always was the one

It sure took a long time to miss me
A long time for you to come around
A long time to find what was wrong
It sure took a long, long time.

The magic that we had together
Seems so much stronger than before
What did I learn to make the love return
O girl I've got to learn some more.

This is my favorite LOBO song! This takes me back to March, 1973 and my girlfriend, Karen, in Steubenville, Ohio. My dad had this single in his Night Club(The BLUE SWAN) and we would play this(Along with our other favorite-EDWARD BEAR's "Last Song") How I wish I could go back

Lobo is a very under rated artist.hard to understand why they don't make music like this anymore.

I bought a D28 Martin guitar in 1973 (that I still have today) because I loved playing all of LOBO songs!!

[christinemartin]

as a child growing up in the 70's, a family off mine was playing this song and it hit me after 55yrs, and with my mum gone after Cyclone Tracey brings a lot off tears.
