It Took a Long Time

[Verse 1]
It took a long time, baby
But I've got you off my mind
It took a long time, baby
But I've got you off my mind
And now I got to work fast
'Cause my love is way behind

[Verse 2]
So long, Mr. Blues
Hello, Mr. Joy
Well, so long, Mr. Blues
Hello, Mr. Joy
Well, you know, I feel like a kid
That's got a brand-new toy

[Verse 3]
Now, where the sun is shinin
And the clouds have rolled away, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yes, where the sun is shinin'
And the clouds have rolled away
With the help of the Maker
I can see the light of day, get it, get it, get it, yeah

[Verse 4]
No more cryin' on my pillow
My uptight is gonе, gone
No more cryin' on my pillow
My uptight is gone bеhind
It took a long time, baby
But I've got you off my mind
