longway

So you think you're a Romeo

Playing a part in a picture show

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

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
