So you think youre a romeo |
|
Playing a part in a picture-show |
|
Take the long way home |
|
Take the long way home |
|
Cos youre the joke of the neighborhood |
|
Why should you care if youre feeling good |
|
Take the long way home |
|
Take the long way home |
|
But there are times that you feel youre part of the scenery |
|
All the greenery is comin down, boy |
|
And then your wife seems to think youre part of the |
|
Furniture oh, its peculiar, she used to be so nice. |
|
When lonely days turn to lonely nights |
|
You take a trip to the city lights |
|
And take the long way home |
|
Take the long way home |
|
You never see what you want to see |
|
Forever playing to the gallery |
|
You take the long way home |
|
Take the long way home |
|
And when youre up on the stage, its so unbelievable, |
|
Unforgettable, how they adore you, |
|
But then your wife seems to think youre losing your sanity, |
|
Oh, calamity, is there no way out? |
|
Does it feel that you lifes become a catastrophe? |
|
Oh, it has to be for you to grow, boy. |
|
When you look through the years and see what you could |
|
Have been oh, what might have been, |
|
If youd had more time. |
|
So, when the day comes to settle down, |
|
Whos to blame if youre not around? |
|
You took the long way home |
|
You took the long way home... |
