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 neighbourhood
|
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 coming 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 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
|
|
Well does it feel that your life's
|
become a catastrophe
|
Oh it has to be for you to grow boy
|
And when you look through the years
|
and see what you could have been
|
Oh what you might have been -
|
if you'd had more time
|
|
So when the day comes
|
to settle down
|
Well who's to blame
|
if you're not around
|
You took the long way home
|
Took the long way home.....
|
