[Verse 1]
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
That I'll always be here
But just because I love you
Does not mean I won't disappear

[Chorus]
(Been so long) I'm missing you, baby
(Been so long) I'm missing you, baby

[Verse 2]
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 hidе

[Chorus]
(Been so long) I'm missing you, baby
(Been so long) I'm missing my, baby
(Been so long) I'm missing you, baby
(Been so long) I'm missing you, baby, yeah
[Bridge]
Give it to me, comе on [Scatting]

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

[Verse 3]
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, I can't hide, baby

Been so long
Been so long
Been so long
Been so long
(It's too long, won't you, come on, baby, won't you come on home)
Been so long
(See about me)
Been so long
(Ah, see about me, baby...)
Been so long
(Baby, baby)
Been so long
[Outro]
Come see about me, baby, I keep telling you
I can't do it, I can't do without you
Without you, ooh, ooh ooh, don't you ask me to
To do without you, lover, you lover
I won't do it, you can't make me do it
[Scatting]
Baby, sweet baby, sweet, sweet, sweet
