(joan jett/kenny laguna)
Its nice of you to say
We can still be friends
But what I need the most
Is never gonna be again
Sure I always knew we were worlds apart
But that dont help the sadness in my heart
Its gonna take a long time
To get you off my mind
Love like yours is hard to find
Youll never be mine
Its gonna take a long time
1234
Oh when we were together
Life was so complete
An then you met that girl
An I could not compete
Oh you are like a magnet with your ways
An thats what I remember everyday
Its gonna take a long time
To get you off of my mind
Love like yours is hard to find
Youll never be mine
Its gonna take a long time
1234
Love is so complex
Thats why Im upset
Cause Im no good for you
But still I cant forget
You can always wake the beast in me
Thats the thing that never lets me be
Its gonna take a long time
To get you off of my mind
Love like yours is hard to find
Youll never be mine
Its gonna take a long time
