#1. So you think you're a Romeo,
Playing a part in a picture-show.
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.
Take the long way home,
take the long way home.
But 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 pe- -culiar, she used to
be so nice.
#2. 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.
And when you're up on the stage,
it's so un--believable,
Unfor--gettable,
how they a--dore you,
But then your wife seems to think
you're losing your sanity,
Oh, cal--amity, is there
no way out?
Solo: (Like Intro)

#3.
Does it feel that your life's become a
cat--astrophe?
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
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,
you took the long way home.
