HOW LONG IS TOO LONG ?
(Tony Asher / John Bahler)

The Partridge Family


You tell me you are through with him
You'll soon be free just to be with me
So I'll stay by the phone

I'm waitin' every night at home
Watching tv shows and honey
Heaven knows I'm always alone

Tho' you never call me
I keep on loving you
Hoping that if I do, you're gonna love me too
And I won't have to wait too long

But how long is too long
I got to know, you're makin' me lose my mind
How long is too long
Hopin' everything will turn out okay
How long is too long
To sit around and wait till you come my way

I see you walkin' around with him
Holdin' hands and makin' plans
You're never apart

I see the way you look at him
When you're in a crowd
I know it makes him proud
While it's breakin' my heart

And all the time you tell me
Keep on lovin' you
And if I do, you're gonna love me too
And I won't have to wait too long

How long is too long
I've got to know, you're makin' me lose my mind
How long is too long
Cause baby I've been waitin' a long long time
How long is too long
Hopin' everything will turn out okay
How long is too long
To sit around and wait till you come my way
