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...........
|
