Lyrics

So you think you're a Romeo

You're playing a part in a picture-show

Well, take the long way home

Take the long way home

'Cause you're the joke of the neighbourhood

Why should you care if you're feeling good?

Well, take the long way home

Take the long way home

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 wanna 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

Oh, unforgettable

How they adore you

But then your wife seems to think you're losing your sanity

Oh, calamity

Or is there no way out?

Oh yeah!

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 would have 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

You took the long way home

Do it again

You took the long way home

You took the long way home

Oh, yah!

You took the long way home

You took the long way home

Ooh, yeah

You took the long way home

Aah, aah, aah, aah

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Aah, aah, aah, aah

Long way home

Long way home

Long way home

Long way home

Long way home

Long way home

Long way home
