So you think you're a Romeo |
|
Playing a part in a picture-show |
|
Take the long way home |
|
Take the long way home |
|
'Cause 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 |
|
You took the long way home |
|
You took the long way home |
|
You took the long way home |
|
You took the long way home |
|
You took the long way home |
|
You took the long way home |
