By now she's putting on her makeup Bet she's been crying all night long By now her heart is surely breaking Just like this cold gray Georgia dawn By now she knows how much she needs me 'Cause she can't make it on her own By now she thinks I really miss her But I've hardly noticed she was gone And any minute now that phone is gonna ring She'll say let's work it out somehow But time keeps dragging on, what's taking her so long? I should've heard from her by now By now she's slipped into her night gown She's letting down her soft brown hair By now she needs someone to hold her And I know she's wishing I was there And any minute now that phone is gonna ring And she'll say let's work it out somehow But time keeps dragging on, what's taking her so long? I should've heard from her by now By now I know how much I love her
