Intro: (2x)

Verse 1:

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

Verse 2:

'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

Chorus:

But there are times that you feel you're part of the scenery

All the greenery is comin' do--wn, boy

And then your wife seems to think you're part of the furniture

Oh, it's peculiar, she used to be--- so--- nice

Verse 3:

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

Verse 4:

You never see what you want to see

Forever playing to the gallery

You take the long way home Take the long way home

Chorus:

And when you're up on the stage, it's so unbelievable

Oh, unforgettable, how they ado---re you

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

Oh, calamity, oh is there no--- way-- out

Solo: (2x)

Chorus:

Does it feel that your life's become a catastrophy

Oh, it has to be, for you to gro---w, boy

When you look through the years and see what you could have been

Oh, what you might have been, if you had ha--d mo--re time

Verse 5:

So, when the day comes to settle down

Who's to blame if you're not around

Ah-ah-ah-ah, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ah-ah-ah-ah
