Take the long way home
So you think you're a Romeoplaying a part in a picture-showTake the long way homeTake the long way home Cos you're the joke of the neighborhoodWhy should you care if you're feeling goodTake the long way homeTake the long way home But there are times that you feel you're part of the sceneryall the greenery is comin' down, boyAnd then your wife seems to think you're part of thefurniture oh, it's peculiar, she used to be so nice. When lonely days turn to lonely nightsyou take a trip to the city lightsAnd take the long way homeTake the long way home You never see what you want to seeForever playing to the galleryYou take the long way homeTake 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 couldhave 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........…
