Oh-oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh Ooh, ooh, ooh Oh, yeah I had it all, but I let it slip-away Couldn't see I treated you wrong Now I wander around, feelin' down and cold Trying to believe that you're gone Love takes time to heal when you hurt it so much Couldn't see that I was blind to let you go I can't escape the pain, inside 'Cause love takes time I don't wanna be here I don't wanna be here alone Losin' my mind, from this hollow in my heart Suddenly, I'm so incomplete Lord, I'm needin' you now Tell me how to stop the rain Tears are falling down, endlessly, whoa-oh Love takes time to heal when you hurt it so much Couldn't see that I was blind to let you go I can't escape the pain inside 'Cause love takes time And I don't wanna be here I don't wanna be here alone You might say that it's over You might say that you don't care You might say you don't miss me, you don't need me But I know that you do, and I feel that you do, inside Love takes time to heal when you hurt it so much Couldn't see that I, I was so blind, to let you go I can't escape the pain inside Because love takes time And I don't wanna be there I don't wanna be there, alone

A canção foi gravada na última hora, quando o álbum de estreia já era considerado finalizado e estava sendo processado para lançamento, mas Mariah Carey pretendia guardá-la para seu segundo álbum.
Ela tocou a demo da música para o ex-CEO da Columbia Records, Don Ienner, enquanto estava em um avião, convencendo a gravadora a incluir a faixa apesar de ela já estar nas fases finais de produção.
Devido à sua adição tardia ao álbum, a música não aparecia na lista de faixas das primeiras prensagens do disco, um erro que só foi corrigido em edições posteriores.
O videoclipe foi gravado em preto e branco em uma praia, destacando-se visualmente no cenário musical daquele período.
A faixa alcançou o topo das paradas nos Estados Unidos por três semanas, tornando-se o segundo single número um de Carey no país, embora não tenha repetido o sucesso global de "Vision of Love".
A música foi incluída em dois albums de compilações importantes da carreira da artista: Greatest Hits (2001) e #1 to Infinity (2015).
