Take the Long Way Home - Supertramp

So you think you're a Romeo

Playing a part in a picture show

Well take the long way home

Take the long way home

You're the joke of the neighborhood

Why should you care if you're feeling good?

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

Lonely days turn to lonely nights

Take a trip to the city lights

Take the long way home

Take the long way home

You never see what you want to see

Forever playing to the gallery

You take the long way home

Take the long way home

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 is there no way out?

Oh, yeah

Ooh

Ooh... 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'd have had 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

Ooh yeah yeah

You took the long way home

You took the long way home

Oh, yeah

You took the long way home

You took the long way home

Ooh yeah

You took the long way home

Ah-ah-ah-ah

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Ah-ah-ah-ah

Long way home

Long way home

Long way home

Long way home

Long way home

Long way home

Long way home
