So you think
you're a Romeo
Playing a part
in a picture-show
well 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
well take the
long way home
Take the long
way home
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 b...e
s..o nice
Well lonely days
turn to lonely nights
You take a trip
to the city lights
and take the
long way home
You take the
long way home
You never see
what you want
to see
Forever playing
to the gallery
you take the
long way home
You take the
long way home
And when you're up
on the stage
it's so unbelievable
U...nforgettable
How they adore you
But then your wife
seems to think
you're losing
your sanity
Oh calamity
Is there n....o
way out?
Oooh yeah
Does it feel that
your life's become
a catastrophe?
Ooh it has to be
for you to grow boy
When you look
through the years
and see what
you could have been
Or what you
might have been
If you had
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
Aaaah aaaaah
Aaaah oooooh
Aaaah aaaaah
Long way home
Long way home
Long way home
Long way home
Long way home
Long way home
