Been So Long Songtext
von Anita Baker

I won′t be neglected
I won't be denied
The pleasure of your kisses
The pleasure of your smile

I think you take for granted
I′ll always be here
Just because I love you
It doesn't mean I won't disappear

Been so long . . . of missin′ you, baby
Been so long . . . of missin′ you, baby

Thoughts and mellow memories
Of once upon a time
Slowly creepin' on me
And they linger on my mind

Just let somebody love you
I just don′t know why
Whenever I get close to you
You want to run and hide


It's been so long . . . of missin′ you, baby
It's been so long . . . of missin′ you, baby
It's been so long . . . of missin' you, baby
It′s been so long . . . of missin′ you, baby

We began lovers' dance
The road was smooth to romance
And we sang love sweet song every day

I believe that love would stay in my heart
Now it′s torn all apart
It's gone away, I can′t stay, I've got to say
I don′t believe that you could do me this way

Now don't you understand
I'm in need of comfort
The comfort of your hand in mine
And what I feel inside
Why don′t you come closer
I can′t hide

Been so long
Been so long . . . can't hide
Been so long
Been so long . . . it′s too long, won't you come on, baby
Been so long . . . won′t you come home, see about me
See about me


Been so long
