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
