oh, by the way

minnie riperton

la

la

la. only in the time it takes to tell you

for not to tell

but to know is wrong

only in the time it takes to warn you

i've known it all by myself to long

la

la

la

oh. only in the time it takes to tease you

don't be dismayed by my subtle ways

only in the time it takes to kiss you

i've wasted so many precious days

i've known too long - this can't go on. now that i have found a way

it's up to me

oh. by the way."
