Been So Long

I won't be neglected I won't be denied The pleasure of your kisses The pleasure of your smile I think you take for granted I'll always be here Just because I love you It doesn't mean I won't disappear CHORUS Been so long . . . of missin' you, baby Been so long . . . of missin' you, baby Thoughts and mellow memories Of once upon a time Slowly creepin' on me And they linger on my mind Just let somebody love you I just don't know why Whenever I get close to you You want to run and hide CHORUS It's been so long . . . of missin' you, baby It's been so long . . . of missin' you, baby It's been so long . . . of missin' you, baby It's been so long . . . of missin' you, baby We began lovers' dance The road was smooth to romance And we sang love sweet song every day I believe that love would stay in my heart Now it's torn all apart It's gone away, I can't stay, I've got to say I don't believe that you could do me this way Now don't you understand I'm in need of comfort The comfort of your hand in mine And what I feel inside Why don't you come closer I can't hide Been so long Been so long . . . can't hide Been so long Been so long . . . it's too long, won't you come on, baby Been so long . . . won't you come home, see about me See about me Been so long
