Take The Long Way Home Lyrics

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...........
