Long black curls and your pretty smile
That’s all it took to turn me on
I wish so hard you could be mine
But I know you’ll soon be gone

Ever since the day I met you
I’ve got a heart burning flame
I really need a girl like you
But I know you’ll never care

And I wonder, yes I wonder
How long will it take
To get you off of my mind

I dream of you most every night
And I see you laying by my side
And when I wake up every morning
I miss you more than anything

They all tell me that you’re not free
But those sweet thoughts won't let me be
I should never have looked at you
'Cause a crying is all I do

Yes I wonder, yes I wonder
How long will it take
To get you off of my mind
