|
So you think you're a Romeo |
|
playing a part in a picture-show |
|
Take the long way home |
|
Take the long way home |
|
Cos you're the joke of the neighborhood |
|
Why should you care if you're feeling good |
|
Take the long way home |
|
Take the long way home |
|
But there are times that you feel you're part of the scenery |
|
all the greenery is comin' down, boy |
|
And then your wife seems to think you're part of the |
|
furniture oh, it's 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 you're up on the stage, it's so unbelievable, |
|
unforgettable, how they adore you, |
|
But then your wife seems to think you're losing your sanity, |
|
oh, calamity, is there no way out? |
|
Does it feel that you life's 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 you'd had more time. |
|
So, when the day comes to settle down, |
|
Who's to blame if you're not around? |
|
You took the long way home |
|
You took the long way home........... |
