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
