Been so Long - Anita Baker

I won’t be neglected

I won’t be denied

The pleasure of your kissed

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

CHORUS

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

CHORUS

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
