Lyrics
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
(Been so long) I'm missin' you, baby
(Been so long) I'm 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 wanna run and hide
It's been so long, I'm missin' you, baby
It's been so long, I'm missin' you, baby
It's been so long, I'm missin' you, baby
It's been so long, I'm 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, 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
Won't you come on home? (Been so long)
See about me, ah, see about me
Baby, ba, ba-da-ba-da (been so long)
Come on, see about me
'Cause I keep tellin' you (been so long)
I can't do, I can't do without you
Without you, oh, now don't ask me to
To do without you, love, without you, love (been so long)
'Cause I won't do it, you can't make me do it
Bop, ba-dop-ba-ba
Ah bop bop, a-hubba, hubba, bubba
A hubba, bubba, baby, a-baby, bop-ba-dop-bop-bop, baby, hey
My baby, sweet baby
Sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet ba-ba-ba-bay-bay-baby
