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 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 seem 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
You 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 seem to think you're losing your sanity
Oh, calamity, or is there no way out?
Oh, yes
Does it feel that your life's become a catastrophe?
Oh, it has to be for you to grow, boy
And 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 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
