Lyrics Too Long - GILBERT O SULLIVAN

I've been outside my window, looking in for a change
And what I've seen, let me tell you
Isn't the least bit strange
My landlady, she puts her head into my room
Her nose must be as long as the handle of a broom

But you, you amaze me when you suddenly show up
Protesting your innocence and proclaiming your love
But it's been too long, since you went away
Too long, you know there's no chance you staying
Too long, baby, and you should know that
After seven whole years, you still want me back
It's been too long baby, take my advice
You can walk out on me once, but you can't do it twice

If life is what you make it, then you'll have to agree
In my life, I've had more than a lifetime's misery
I'm not, but I'm complaining, you know I wouldn't do that
But in our firm, when there's trouble, it's me who gets the sack
But you, you amaze me with your big blue eyes
You thought me seeing you would be a nice surprise

But it's been too long since you went away
Too long, can't you hear what I'm saying?
Too long, baby, why won't you be told?
Sure I cared about you once but that was long ago
It's been too long baby, go ahead and cry
You can walk out on me once, but you can't do it twice

But you, you amaze me when you suddenly show up
Protesting your innocence and proclaiming your love
But it's been too long, since you went away
Too long, can't you hear what I'm saying?
Too long, baby, you should know that
After seven whole years, you still want me back
It's been too long baby, take my advice
You can walk out on me once, but you can't do it twice

Go back to the life that you said you had found
Don't bother me with your ups and your downs
Oh, I don't understand how someone like you
Turns up like this out of the blue

Too long, baby, why won't you be told?
Sure I cared about you once but that was long ago
It's been too long baby, you heard what I said
It's as if you had returned from the dead
Too long baby
