Songteksten

[Verse 1]
So you think you're a Romeo
You're playin a part in a picture show
Well, take the long way home
Take the long way home
[Verse 2]
But you're the joke of the neighborhood
Why should you care if you're feeling good?
Well, take the long way home
Take the long way home
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
You never see what you wanna see
Forever playin' to the gallery
You take the long way home
Take the long way home
[Verse 6]
And when you're up on the stage, its 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?
[Verse 7]
Oh, yeah
Ooo, yeah
[Verse 8]
Well, does it feel that your 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 you might have been if you'd had more time
[Verse 9]
So, when the day comes to settle down
Who's to blame if you're not around?
You took the long way home
Took the long way home
[Verse 10]
Took the long way home
Took the long way home
Took the long way home
Took the long way home
Took the long way home
Took the long way home
[Verse 11]
You took the long way home
Long way home
Long way home
You took the long way home
You took the long way home
Took the long way home
Took the long way home
