Take The Long Way Home

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
 'Cause you're the joke of the neighborhood
 Why should you care if you're feelin' 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 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?
 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
 You took the long way home
 You took the long way home
 You took the long way home
 You took the long way home
 You took the long way home
 Long way home
 Long way home
 Long way home
 Long way home
 Long way home
 Long way home
 Long way home
